Bug ID: 60598 Summary: Graceful restart do not follow changes in MaxRequestWorkers mpm_prefork Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.4.7 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: All Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org Reporter: bistru...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- With multiple graceful restarts apache do not spawn the specified number of processes as indicated by the mpm_prefork MaxRequestWorkers parameter. To reproduce the bug take the following steps: 1) start apache with following mpm_prefork.conf file <IfModule mpm_prefork_module> MaxRequestWorkers 6 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> then the 6 children processes are spawned as expected 2) change the mpm_prefork.conf and restart apache gracefully (sudo apache2ctl -k graceful) <IfModule mpm_prefork_module> MaxRequestWorkers 2 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> the number of children process is reduced to 2 as expected 3) change the mpm_prefork.conf and restart apache gracefully (sudo apache2ctl -k graceful) <IfModule mpm_prefork_module> MaxRequestWorkers 6 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> the number of children processes still remain fixed to 2 (observed with (heavy/soft/zero) load on the server). Generally what we saw is that this behavior happens after a chain of graceful restart when MaxRequestWorkers is decreased then increased. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: bugs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: bugs-h...@httpd.apache.org
