cPanel - Apache Global Configuration
- 1. Apache Global ConfigurationApache MPM (multi-processing modul) Common Directives
- 3. StartServers- No of Child Server Process created when starting Apache. - As the number of processes is dynamically controlled depending on the load, there is usually little reason to adjust this parameter.
- 4. Minimum Spare ServersMinimum no of Child Server Process will remain exist even Apache got nothing to do (idle)
- 5. Tuning of this parameter should only be necessary on very busy sitesMaximum Spare ServersMaximum no of Child Server Process will remain exist even Apache got nothing to do (idle)
- 6. Tuning of this parameter should only be necessary on very busy sitesMax ClientsThe MaxClientsdirective sets the limit on the number of simultaneous requests that will be served
- 7. Any connection attempts over the MaxClients limit will normally be queued
- 8. Once a child process is freed at the end of a different request, the connection will then be serviced.ServerLimitThis directive sets the maximum configured value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the Apache process.
- 9. If ServerLimit is set to a value much higher than necessary, extra, unused shared memory will be allocated
- 10. Highly recommend using the default setting unless you fully understand how it will interact with your Apache build and MaxClients setting.MaxRequestsPerChildThe MaxRequestsPerChild directive sets the limit on the number of requests that an individual child server process will handle.
- 11. After MaxRequestsPerChild requests, the child process will die.
- 12. If MaxRequestsPerChild is 0, then the process will never expire.Keep-Alive TimeoutThe number of seconds Apache will wait for a subsequent request before closing the connection.
- 13. Once a request has been received, the timeout value specified by the Timeout directive applies.Max Keep-Alive RequestsThe MaxKeepAliveRequests directive limits the number of requests allowed per connection when KeepAlive is on.
- 14. If it is set to 0, unlimited requests will be allowed.
- 15. Its recommend that this setting be kept to a high value for maximum server performance.TimeoutAmount of time the server will wait for certain events before failing a request
- 16. Example:
- 17. In mod_cgi, the length of time to wait for output from a CGI script
- 18. When reading data from the client, the length of time to wait for a TCP packet to arrive if the read buffer is empty
