<p>The <code>http-req-limit</code> parameter has to do with
concurrency so it doesn't affect this situation.<br>
The error message is pretty self explanatory though, Arachni tried
to retrieve a page in order to audit it but the server didn't
respond, Arachni retried 4 more times just to be safe, but the
server returned nothing.</p>
<p>It could be that the server was overwhelmed by the scan and had
trouble managing the workload or flat out died.</p>
<p>Cheers</p></div>Tasos Laskostag:support.arachni-scanner.com,2012-07-01:Comment/293197972013-10-10T19:33:48Z2013-10-10T19:33:48Zarachni can't get a response after 5 tries<div><p>Actually, messing with <code>http-req-limit</code> could help
because by reducing concurrency you may be able to keep the server
more responsive. What I recommend is setting it to 10 or so and see
if that makes any difference.</p>

<p>First, thanks for your answer.<br>
About your first answer, I tried to scan my website and I don't
think that server was overwhelmed. Nevermind...</p>
<p>Moreover, "http-req-limit" was set to 20, so according to your
second answer, isn't it?</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>

your IP was blocked by a firewall or something?</p></div>Tasos Laskostag:support.arachni-scanner.com,2012-07-01:Comment/293197972013-10-11T16:16:43Z2013-10-11T16:16:43Zarachni can't get a response after 5 tries<div><p>It could be this. I don't know network design of our
webhoster.</p>
<p>I will try to get this information and get outbound traffic
report, if some security device of our webhoster block my IP adress
from scanning.</p>
<p>Thanks and regards,</p>
