[users@httpd] Apache Processes in Windows

2014-04-25 Thread Dino B.
Hi Apache experts,

This is my first post to an Apache group, so please bear with me.  I am
also new to Apache in general.

My understanding is that under windows, there should be only 2 httpd
processes once I start my Apache server (version 2.2).  One parent and one
child.  The child then spawns multiple threads to handle incoming requests.

However, I have seen cases where I had up to 8 or so httpd processes
showing in Windows Task Manager.

I have been using an Apache module acting as server (written in Delphi) to
service request from devices.

Much appreciated

Are 7 a child of the same parent httpd.exe process?

If you have MaxRequestsPerChild set to non-zero, you can have multiple
children even on Windows, while older processes finish serving lengthy
requests.

Its always possible that third-party modules create their own child
processes.

mod_status might show helpful information, but ISTR that httpd 2.2 on
Windows doesn't show the various process ids when there's more than one
child.  I'm not sure.
