Hi, We're noticing that the value provided for MaxRequestsPerChild is not picked up by httpd, but somehow the default value of 10,000 is used. We can see this because each request logs the pid and the request number that served it. httpd: 2.2.15 mpm: prefork Configuration: KeepAlive On KeepAliveTimeout 2 MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 <IfModule mpm_worker_module> ServerLimit 40 StartServers 5 MaxClients 600 MinSpareThreads 15 MaxSpareThreads 30 ThreadsPerChild 15 MaxRequestsPerChild 100000 </IfModule> Regards, Alin --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
