<H2>Summary</H2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is the default for most unix-like
|
|
operating systems. It 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>
