Or largest of MaxClients/MaxRequestWorkers or > ServerLimit*ThreadLimit if threaded MPM? Yes, the compiled-in default for ServerLimit in prefork is 256.

There are some elaborate messages that complain hen the relationship between them is wrong and it will lower your MaxClients. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
