12 <p>This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) implements an exclusively
13 threaded web server that has been optimized for Novell
16 <p>The main thread is responsible for launching child
17 worker threads which listen for connections and serve them when they
18 arrive. Apache always tries to maintain several <em>spare</em>
19 or idle worker threads, which stand ready to serve incoming
20 requests. In this way, clients do not need to wait for a new
21 child threads to be spawned before their requests can be
24 <p>The <code>StartThreads</code>, <code>MinSpareThreads</code>,
25 <code>MaxSpareThreads</code>, and <code>MaxThreads</code>
26 regulate how the main thread creates worker threads to serve
27 requests. In general, Apache is very self-regulating, so most
28 sites do not need to adjust these directives from their default
29 values. Sites which need to serve more than 250 simultaneous
30 requests may need to increase <code>MaxThreads</code>, while
31 sites with limited memory may need to decrease
32 <code>MaxThreads</code> to keep the server from thrashing (spawning and
33 terminating idle threads). More information about
34 tuning process creation is provided in the <a href="../misc/perf-tuning.html">performance hints</a>
37 <p><code>MaxRequestsPerChild</code> controls how frequently the
38 server recycles processes by killing old ones and launching new
39 ones. On the NetWare OS it is highly recommended that this directive
40 remain set to 0. This allows worker threads to continue servicing
41 requests indefinitely.</p>

61 <p>This directive tells the server what stack size to use for
62 each of the running threads. If you ever get a stack overflow
63 you will need to bump this number to a higher setting.</p>
