Ok, now given that I have the following settings for prefork: <IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 MaxClients 250 MaxRequestsPerChild 10000 </IfModule> Is the following setting for Tomcat AJP Connector appropriate? What I wanna know is how the apache processes works with the AJP tomcat threads? Is it again a one-to-one thing or can a process spawn more than one thread? <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" maxThreads="250" connectionTimeout="600000" /> Is the connectionTimeout too high practically? How about the maxThreads for 250 maxClients? My worker.properties is: worker.node1.port=8009 worker.node1.host= localhost worker.node1.type=ajp13 worker.node1.connection_pool_timeout=600 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-does-Prefork-work--tp23754946p23783280.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
