Hi Luca,

Thanks for reply.

Actually I want to use apache web server for some transaction where I can't afford any type of failure. That's why I was trying If by mistake someone killed or something happen to my parent process then still apache can handle requests and serve. Thats why I have query that if parent process is not there then what are the functionalities will I lost ?

Regards

Hemant

Hi folks,

I have my apache-2.4.25 with worker mpm. For testing, I have killed the master/main process and send simultaneous requests from apache j-meter and my apache serves all the requests. What I have observed is that  even with loads number of  worker threads are same, it means I lost  forking capability because of main process.  

My query is without Master process, what functionalities will I loose? 

afaik anything that requires the master process (graceful reload, restart, spawn of new processes due to MaxRequestPerChild reached, etc..) will not work anymore. I'd strongly suggest not to play with the master process or attempt to get rid of it for some reason, but I am not sure what is the goal of your test :)
