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

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
Thanks again.
So, is it better to use the following module?

<IfModule mpm_event_module> 
StartServers 3 
MinSpareThreads 75 
MaxSpareThreads 250
ThreadLimit 64
ThreadsPerChild 25
MaxRequestWorkers 400 
MaxConnectionsPerChild 0 
</IfModule>


Do you know of any articles, websites, or something like a cheat sheet for quickly setting up Apache?

There are no "best" values, either way; it depends on your traffic pattern.

Use mod_status with ExtendedStatus on, and monitor /server-status to check how many idle workers you have, over time.

What is wrong with the default values? Why do you want to "estimate"?
Have you tried different values? If so, what was the upside/downside of
your trials? Logs? Stats?

You say somewhere below that your server "uses WordPress, so it also has
PHP and MySQL."  Fine, these are services (memory and CPU cycles)
outside the scope of Apache/httpd which just "serves" what it is given
to "serve."

As an example, I have just rewritten a quite big (474 Gb) WP website in
html5 with minimal php and js. Result: client output identical, Apache
throughput just over 90% lower. YMMV

Good luck,
Paul
