Re: [users@httpd] user and group thru configure

[Benjamin <benjamin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey thanks Eimantas,
Read abt the MPMs.

I am using Linux, Redhat -9.
SO i guess, even if i dint specify the mpm option dring configure, it wud pick prefork as the MPM, which is wot i want.
So, do I have to specify the User/Group  directive when I cconfigure for make?? or is it when I start the server?

Theres no mention of using the User/Group directive with configure.
Do i have to configure like
./configure --prefix=<prefix>   --with-mpm=prefork  User=<username>

MPM - Multi-Processing Modules. These modules are responsible for binding to 
IP/Port and supplying children processes for handling requests. The most 
common MPM module (as far as i know) used on unix (Linux) machines with 
apache2 is prefork since not all apache modules are thread-safe and this 
module sort of 'emulates' apache 1.3 behavior. Each MPM module has its own 
directives, i.e. [User] directive is avaliable for leader, perchild, prefork, 
threadpool and worker MPM modules. You should check each module separately 
and choose the one which fits your needs best.

MPM module??

cuz i did not know abt this,i configured with simple
./configure --prefix=<prefix>

Whoa. I just looked at the options with configure, n looked for MPM.
Its very unnerving for sure, atleast for me.

Do i have to know the modules used by Apache, and their uses, etc. to do
an install?
the option --with-mpm=MPM says
--with-mpm=MPM          Choose the process model for Apache to use.

MPM={beos|worker|prefork|mpmt_os2|perchild|leader|threadpool}

wot are these??n how do i decide wot do i use??

pardon me.. if these qs seem too silly..

I am still reading into all this, but could u just direct me to the
right stuff.
