Hi,
I'm running Apache2.2.11 with the Event MPM under FreeBSD 6.3, on
a site that's largely mod_perl2 driven.
ThreadsPerChild is specified as 25 in an include file of httpd.conf:
MaxClients 250
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 150
ThreadsPerChild 25
The documentation of the Worker MPM (which is supposed to have the
same configuration characteristics as Event) states that each child
process creates (ThreadsPerChild) threads when it inits, and never
changes
the number of threads. But the THR column of the 'top' utility shows 11 threads per process. Is 'top' just wrong, or is something constraining how many threads are being created? The only way I know to ask Apache about its threads configuration is the Apache2::MPM->query facility. Using this facility for all of the values noted in the Apache2::Const documentation yields: MPMQ_MAX_DAEMON_USED(1) = -1 MPMQ_IS_THREADED(2) = 1 MPMQ_IS_FORKED(3) = 2 MPMQ_HARD_LIMIT_DAEMONS(4) = 16 MPMQ_HARD_LIMIT_THREADS(5) = 64 MPMQ_MAX_THREADS(6) = 25 MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS(7) = 0 MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_THREADS(8) = 25 MPMQ_MAX_SPARE_DAEMONS(9) = 0 MPMQ_MAX_SPARE_THREADS(10) = 150 MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON(11) = 0 MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS(12) = 10 MPMQ_MAX_THREADS has the same value as ThreadsPerChild, but its name suggests that this number is a maximum. Perhaps this implies that this number may not be created?
