MPM Worker : Two processes launched with no activity

[Sylvain Goulmy <sygoulmy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm currently using apache 2.4.17 on RHEL with the worker mode configured this way :

- ThreadLimit : 200             

- ServerLimit : 50              

- ThreadsPerChild : 50          

- MaxRequestWorkers : 150       

- MinSpareThreads : 10          

- MaxSpareThreads : 80          

- MaxConnectionsPerChild : 0    

- StartServers : 1              

With this configuration and whereas i don't have any activity on my http instance, i can't see on the status page that there are two processes that are launched systematically.

This behaviour is different from the one i had with apache 2.2 where i had only one process running when there wasn't any activity.

What could explain this behaviour ?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Sylvain
