Apache Worker
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 7:46 am
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
