|
|
<p>This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) implements a hybrid
|
|
multi-process multi-threaded server. Each process has a fixed
|
|
number of threads. The server adjusts to handle load by
|
|
increasing or decreasing the number of processes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A single control process is responsible for launching child
|
|
processes. Each child process creates a fixed number of threads
|
|
as specified in the <code>ThreadsPerChild</code> directive. The
|
|
individual threads then listen for connections and serve them
|
|
when they arrive.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Apache always tries to maintain a pool of <em>spare</em> or
|
|
idle server threads, which stand ready to serve incoming
|
|
requests. In this way, clients do not need to wait for a new
|
|
threads or processes to be created before their requests can be
|
|
served. Apache assesses the total number of idle threads in all
|
|
processes, and forks or kills processes to keep this number
|
|
within the boundaries specified by <code>MinSpareThreads</code>
|
|
and <code>MaxSpareThreads</code>. Since this process is very
|
|
self-regulating, it is rarely necessary to modify these
|
|
directives from their default values. The maximum number of
|
|
clients that may be served simultaneously is determined by
|
|
multiplying the maximum number of server processes that will be
|
|
created (<code>MaxClients</code>) by the number of threads
|
|
created in each process (<code>ThreadsPerChild</code>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>While the parent process is usually started as root under
|
|
Unix in order to bind to port 80, the child processes and
|
|
threads are launched by Apache as a less-privileged user. The
|
|
<code>User</code> and <code>Group</code> directives are used to
|
|
set the privileges of the Apache child processes. The child
|
|
processes must be able to read all the content that will be
|
|
served, but should have as few privileges beyond that as
|
|
possible. In addition, unless <a href="../suexec.html">suexec</a> is used, these directives also
|
|
set the privileges which will be inherited by CGI scripts.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>MaxRequestsPerChild</code> controls how frequently the
|
|
server recycles processes by killing old ones and launching new
|
|
ones.</p>

|
|
ports Apache uses</a>.</p>
