If you temporarily enable the mod_info module in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.so # Allow remote server configuration reports, with the URL of # http://servername/server-info (requires that mod_info.c be loaded). # Change the ".your-domain.com" to match your domain to enable. # <IfModule mod_info.c> <Location /server-info> SetHandler server-info Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from .your-domain.com </Location> </IfModule> then hit your web server as http://webserver/server-info, you will see a list of modules loaded. If you should see a list of loaded modules, including prefork.c. If you select the "Server Settings" link at the beginning of the modules list, you'll get the MPM and threading information.

After reading this thread I feel somewhat more educated. Now I am wondering how to tell if apache is running in prefork mode. I see this in httpd.conf (fedora) <IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 8 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 100 </IfModule> but locate prefork only finds doc files. How do I tell if it is running prefork and essentially is thread safe with using php? I found the following saying that RH 8 uses prefork and I assume that this is true for all RH builds. But the question remains, How do I tell?
