There is no function internal to apache to do that. You can probably use ulimit in the script that starts apache. Of course, the processes will die very ungracefully if they hit the OS limit. You may want to look at MaxRequestsPerChild if you have buggy/leaky modules. > And also when > the process dies how do I make sure it releases the resource it had > acquired. This will happen automatically for most resources. Is there some particular problem you are having? > What is the impact of the parameter MaxMemFree ? This won't do very much in normal use. Apache will try to free memory back to the OS if it winds up with a bunch of unoccupied memory. The OS may or may not reuse it. And in a busy server, it is unlikely that particular processes will wind up allocating a bunch of memory and then later not need it.
