Apache worker mpm

Asked by zattz in Apache Web Server

Hi all,

I am an apache newbie, trying to optimize a server. I have commented out prefork in my httpd.conf and have the following:

<IfModule worker.c>
StartServers       2
MaxClients         75
MinSpareThreads    25
MaxSpareThreads    75
ThreadsPerChild    25
MaxRequestsPerChild  0
</IfModule>

I am confused though, if I do a ps - A | grep httpd
I can see about 52 httpd processes. Why are there so many? If I have MaxClients of 75, and ThreadsPerChild at 25, shouldnt there be 3 httpd processes?

Thanks
