Package: apache2-mpm-worker Version: 2.2.3-4+etch4 Severity: important
Hi, Using the ThreadLimit directive when configuring apache2 to use the mpm_worker_module, the startup messages show that this directive is ignored. Apache always maintains the value 64. there is a #define DEFAULT_THREAD_LIMIT 64 setting in file ./server/mpm/worker/worker.c: of the apache2 source package. Below a series of mpm_worker_module configurations and the associated start or stop messages. The series supports my notion that the directives are read and checked for consistency, but the value of ThreadLimit is always presupposed to be at its default value of 64 -- whatever the directive is. <IfModule mpm_worker_module> ServerLimit 25 StartServers 10 MaxClients 1600 ThreadLimit 2 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 256 ThreadsPerChild 1024 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> scratch # /etc/init.d/apache2 start => Starting web server (apache2)...WARNING: ThreadsPerChild of 1024 exceeds ThreadLimit value of 64 threads, lowering ThreadsPerChild to 64.
