Um, I think you misread my commit. All I changed was StartServers.
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 1
MaxClients @MaxClients@
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
MaxClients remained the same.
In fact, I think it should be:
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 1
MinSpareServers 1
MaxSpareServers 1
MaxClients @MaxClients@
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
Now, Aaron mentioned that perhaps we should always run with multiple
processes regardless of the MPMs. I could agree with that. But,
what we had was inconsistent. -- justin
