depends on your hardware resources, mainly RAM<br />
keep in mind that each process needs at least 2MB memory. So you main memory should have at least 2MB * number of processes

There are too many httpd processes in my RH linux server running Apache. It makes the loading average very high, and the websites very slow to connect, and finally server &quot;down&quot;!<br />
<br />
How can I do so as to reduce to httpd processes, is a connection uses a httpd process, can a httpd process handles many connections?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
