There are 3 standard MPMs: Prefork (which is the old 1.3 way), Worker and Event. Event is the recommended for 2.4.x > >>> These are the tuning settings we have in apache: >>> >>> StartServers 10 >>> >>> #MinSpareServers 10 >>> >>> #MaxSpareServers 25 >>> >>> ServerLimit 250 >>> >>> MaxRequestWorkers 250 >>> >>> MaxConnectionsPerChild 1000 >> >> Should be 0. > > What "Should be 0"? What MaxConnectionsPerChild does it to kill off a child process after it handles 1000 connections. For even moderately used servers, this causes nasty thrashing as the parent httpd process is constantly killing off and then recreating perfectly fine child processes. This directive was originally add long long ago when there were memory leaks in libs and so you needed Apache httpd to occasionally kill child processes to recover that mem. > > >> >>> >>> KeepAlive On >>> >>> KeepAliveTimeout 30 > > Seems like I have read in somewhat recent exchanges that "KeepAlive Off" > is the recognized preference? > That's also fine.
