So what about the StartServers? Don't you think 40 isn't a bit too high as well? I mean, it does only relate to the servers that are spawned right at the start of the webserver, does it?
Yes. StartServers should be set to around the average number of simultaneous clients you suspect (or perhaps a little lower).
You say that an occassional "server seems busy" is nothing to worry about. Actually, I wasn't worried, but clients did complain about getting, "Internal Server Errors" (which usually means that a CGI program finished ungracefully). The CGIs I have to host are third party code that I am required to have executed. I suspect that the webserver couldn't spawn these CGI forks when the messages appeared.
I suspect the Internal Server Errors are completely unrelated. They usually indicate a fault in the cgi script, rather than any problem in apache. What do the error logs say at the time of these errors?
