John,

prefork and worker are mutually exclusive. When apache is compiled, one is picked. In order to change the MPM, apache must be recompiled.

See the output from httpd -V

On a related question (and not to hijack this thread too much...)...In
the file apache2.conf
there are two sections that determine the server operation, prefork
MPM and worker MPM.
Where (how?) is the decision made to set either mpm_prefork_module
TRUE or mpm_worker_module TRUE?
It is my understanding that these approaches are mutually exclusive
when Apache is launched. Correct?

Andrew,

Well, WinNT uses a different MPM model. There is a parent process, and a
'child' process that has internal threads, visible from mod_status. On
linux, those would show up as separate processes.

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#startservers

Thanks.
But I just see 2 processes on task manager, not 63!!! Are there threads?

MPM is commented. Where can i find the pre-set directives values?
# Server-pool management (MPM specific)
#Include conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf

Thanks

   Andrew,

   You may have not set those, but apache ships with pre-set
   directives. Open your config files, and see what those directives
   are set to.

   Idle workers are processes which are not responding to any HTTP
   request at the moment.

   Frank.

       I dont have configured any of that directives. There is any
       default configuration?

       And about server-status:

       Parent Server Generation: 2

       1 requests currently being processed, 63 idle workers


       What's mean parent server generation and idle workers?

       Thanks a lot

          See the StartServers / MinSpareServers directives.

              Hi!

              By default in version 2.2 how many child processes are
       created
              at apache
              startup? When is created another one?

              Thanks
