<h3>Summary</h3>
 
32
 
 
33
    <p>This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) implements an exclusively
 
34
    threaded web server that has been optimized for Novell
 
35
    NetWare.</p>
 
36
 
 
37
    <p>The main thread is responsible for launching child
 
38
    worker threads which listen for connections and serve them when they
 
39
    arrive. Apache always tries to maintain several <dfn>spare</dfn>
 
40
    or idle worker threads, which stand ready to serve incoming
 
41
    requests. In this way, clients do not need to wait for a new
 
42
    child threads to be spawned before their requests can be
 
43
    served.</p>
 
44
 
 
45
    <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#startthreads">StartThreads</a></code>,
 
46
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></code>,
 
47
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></code>, and
 
48
    <code class="directive"><a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></code>
 
49
    regulate how the main thread creates worker threads to serve
 
50
    requests. In general, Apache is very self-regulating, so most
 
51
    sites do not need to adjust these directives from their default
 
52
    values. Sites with limited memory may need to decrease <code class="directive"><a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></code> to keep the server from
 
53
    thrashing (spawning and terminating idle threads). More information
 
54
    about tuning process creation is provided in the <a href="../misc/perf-tuning.html">performance hints</a>
 
55
    documentation.</p>
 
56
 
 
57
    <p><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestsperchild">MaxRequestsPerChild</a></code>
 
58
    controls how frequently the server recycles processes by killing old
 
59
    ones and launching new ones. On the NetWare OS it is highly
 
60
    recommended that this directive remain set to 0. This allows worker
 
61
    threads to continue servicing requests indefinitely.</p>
