Each child process creates a fixed number of server + threads as specified in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code> directive, as well + as a listener thread which listens for connections and passes them + to a server thread for processing when they arrive.</p> + + <p>Apache HTTP Server always tries to maintain a pool of <dfn>spare</dfn> 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. The number of processes that will initially launch is + set by the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#startservers">StartServers</a></code> + directive. During operation, the server 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 class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></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 (i.e., the maximum total + number of threads in all processes) is determined by the + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestworkers">MaxRequestWorkers</a></code> directive. + The maximum number of active child processes is determined by + the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestworkers">MaxRequestWorkers</a></code> + directive divided by the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#threadsperchild"> + ThreadsPerChild</a></code> directive.</p> + + <p>Two directives set hard limits on the number of active child + processes and the number of server threads in a child process, + and can only be changed by fully stopping the server and then + starting it again. <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#serverlimit">ServerLimit + </a></code> is a hard limit on the number of active child + processes, and must be greater than or equal to the + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestworkers">MaxRequestWorkers</a></code> + directive divided by the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#threadsperchild"> + ThreadsPerChild</a></code> directive. + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#threadlimit">ThreadLimit</a></code> is a hard + limit of the number of server threads, and must be greater than + or equal to the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code> directive.</p> + + <p>In addition to the set of active child processes, there may + be additional child processes which are terminating, but where at + least one server thread is still handling an existing client + connection. Up to <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestworkers">MaxRequestWorkers</a></code> terminating processes + may be present, though the actual number can be expected to be + much smaller.
