[xpost dev & docs] the MPM documentation is currently incomplete and partially outdated. I've tried to remove this flaw... ;-)
the patch against the existing source files (xml) can be found at <http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/mpms.diff> (~ 68K). If you want to read it as HTML, try <http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/manual/mod/#core> as a starting point. However, here's a summary of the main changes: - added new docs for beos, leader, mpmt_os2 and threadpool. The descriptions are mainly taken from the READMEs and/or code comments. - mpm_common: * fixed the <modulelist>s in mpm_common * moved AcceptMutex to mpm_common; document the mutex mechanism "posixsem" * added BS2000Account to mpm_common (I'm not sure, whether it should appear here or elsewhere. It *seems* to be supported only by prefork and perchild (if perchild would work). The description is obtained from the 1.3 docs. * fixed several default values * moved MaxThreadsPerChild and NumServers out to perchild (btw: we could consider to rename NumServers to StartServers...) * rearranged some stuff and added several comments, that I found useful ;-) - mpm_netware: * MaxThreads - there was a limit of 250 documented. hmm, I couldn't find *any* reference to a value of 250, so I took the obvious from mpm_netware: MaxThreads 2048 (as maximum and default) - perchild: * extended the explanations about using different user ids. Hope, that's correct. * extended and adjusted the directive descriptions (remember, NumServers and MaxThreadsPerChild moved in) - prefork: * moved AcceptMutex to mpm_common (as stated already above) Please note again, that these are only the main changes. There is still one directive (except GProfDir ;-) that's not documented: SecureListen, which comes with the netware ssl module. I didn't add it, because I'm a bit unsure, where to place it. any ideas? Probably more interesting for the doccos: the growing up of the MPM section caused some style changes for better navigation etc. A diff against the style files can be found at <http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/style.diff> (~ 17K). Here are the main changes: - reintroduced the sidebar for the module index page (obvious ;-) * didn't want to leave the section links so alone, thus added some <seealso>s. - changed the ordering of the core/MPMs as follows: * core * mpm_common * alphabetical list of the mpms (ordered by their "natural" names). - same appeared on the sitemap (<http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/manual/sitemap.html#modules>) - changed <h1> headings of the modulesynopsis files, so that they match the titles in the sitemap. This should better reflect the nature of the modules.
