Re: How do I choose the best settings for the Apache Server?

You'll want to make sure you're using the event mpm, in any case. It should run well under 500MB even with thousands of workers.

If php or another dynamic language is involved, then the answer will depend on what you use. You should also consider if other services use RAM, such as a rdbms.

I'm thankful if anyone can guide me to choose the above settings according to my server hardware specifications. If you know of other settings, please share.


Thank you.
