It looks like you are using Windows. I don't have any experience with Apache on Windows, so I can't say anything about the directive mentioned in the error message.

Are you using Windows XP, or some other Client-Windows? AFAIK, those flavours of Windows limit the number of concurrent client connections that the machine can serve. AFAIK, there are ways around that, but I don't know any details except that they involve registry hacking.

So, there seem to be 3 options:

* try the directive emntioned in the error message
* hack the registry to allow more connections
* use an operating system fit for the task.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

Ulli
