<hr />
<p>We found that many people were using values for "MaxServers"
either too high or too low, and were hanging themselves on it.
The model we adopted is still based on long-lived
minimal-forking processes, but instead of specifying one number
of persistent processes, the web-master specifies a maximum and
minimum number of processes to be "spare" - every couple of
seconds the parent checks the actual number of spare servers
and adjusts accordingly. This should keep the number of servers
concurrently running relatively low while still ensuring
minimal forking.</p>
<p>We renamed the current StartServers to MinSpareServers,
created separate StartServers parameter which means what it
says, and renamed MaxServers to MaxSpareServers (though the old
name still works, for NCSA 1.4 back-compatibility). The old
names were generally regarded as too confusing.</p>
<p>The defaults for each variable are:</p>
<pre>
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 5
</pre>
There is an absolute maximum number of simultaneous children
defined by a compile-time limit which defaults to 256 and a
"MaxClients" directive which specifies the number of
simultaneous children that will be allowed. MaxClients can be
adjusted up to the compile-time limit (HARD_SERVER_LIMIT,
defined in httpd.h). If you need more than 256 simultaneous
children, you need to modify both HARD_SERVER_LIMIT and
MaxClients.
<p>In versions before 1.2, HARD_SERVER_LIMIT defaulted to
150.</p>
<p>We do not recommend changing either of these values
unless:</p>
<ol>
<li>You know you have the server resources to handle
more</li>
<li>You use the machine for other purposes and must limit the
amount of memory Apache uses</li>
</ol>
