ulimit

Hello , Am getting a lot of these in our error log

((11)Resource temporarily unavailable: apr_thread_create: unable to create worker thread) and (110)Connection timed out: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:80 (*) failed

The parameters of the worker in httpd.conf are as follows

StartServers 8 ServerLimit 128 MaxClients 2048 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 75 ThreadsPerChild 32 MaxRequestsPerChild 10000

I have changed the stack size in limit.conf but still not helping , Can anyone please help me ?
