Hello I am new to apache httpd. I noticed that apache httpd spawns many processes to server user request. one of the httpd process is the master (i.e. running with root id on linux). the other ones are it children ( i.e. running with daemon id). is the master httpd process kind of like a load dispatcher and the ones running with daemon like the workers ? Is there a way to build apache such that it does not spawn new processes. instead it spawns new threads within the root process to handle incoming request ?
