Hello, I've started using the MPM prefork with apache2 along with these settings: StartServers 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 100 I'm happy with the results, but I'm curious about the following quote taken from the prefork online docs: "This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) implements a non-threaded, pre-forking web server that handles requests in a manner similar to Apache 1.3." Does this mean apache-1.3 preforked by default? If so, why was this behavior changed for apache2? Why wouldn't I want to run MPM prefork? - Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
