Apache Worker

[wildmanmatt]

Hi,

I'm currently running ASL with prefork, but Apache is using a lot of resources.

Am I able to change to worker? Would this perhaps make my resources go further?

I have a quad core 2.5GHz with 8GB RAM and 2 300GB SATA drives in RAID1.

Currently my prefork settings look like this:

# prefork MPM
# StartServers: number of server processes to start
# MinSpareServers: minimum number of server processes which are kept spare
# MaxSpareServers: maximum number of server processes which are kept spare
# ServerLimit: maximum value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the server
# MaxClients: maximum number of server processes allowed to start
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 8
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
ServerLimit 256
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
</IfModule>

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Sure you can change to worker, we don't touch apache at all.
