Hi Luca, If I choose to go with MPM and to spawn single process then it will create parent process and then child process where parent process monitor the server and child process serve the request. But I need only one process which works for both as parent and child which is achieved in httpd -X. httpd -X creates one process which monitor apache as well as serves the request.
Is it possible to disable mutex while configuring apache, so that it will not create semaphores ?
