Hi,
In windows Apache creates 2 processes. Prefork is not supported on wondows.

Process 1 has minimum  of three threads as below.

worker_main ( actall thread which does the work coded in modules. More threads are spawned accoding to the configuration on httpd.conf )
winnt_accept
and __tmainCRTStartup

Process 2 also has three threads.
service_nt_main_fn
service_nt_despatch_thread
and __tnaibStartup.


I wonder if anybody has tried Windows prefork for Apache 2.2.2.  Prefork model adds to the stability I feel. I am not sure if code in one thread corrupts the heap what will happen? Will the Apache stopping further requests which actually goes through the happy path of the code?  Do we need to restart the Apache??

Regards,

Jayaram Ganapathy

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How Apache manages all its children





You can see some information on the child processes by enabling the /info URL in httpd.conf - but you probably knew that already.

description or refer me a URL/books?

Many Thanks, Q.Xie
