Working toward a more thorougly tested 2.0 using the prefork mpm, I've tested restarts for all of the following changes to the prefork mpm configuration directives under load using ab: StartServers MinSpareServers MaxSpareServers MaxClients MaxRequestsPerChild I made the following types of changes to test restart: no change value increased upward from default value increased downward to default value set to effective infinity if possible The prefork mpm behaved as expected. Process counts were correct, servers restarted at the correct number of requests, etc. Here was the configuration I was using: Server: Apache/2.0.25-dev (Unix) csherr@caffeine:~ > uname -a Linux caffeine 2.4.3-20mdk #1 Sun Apr 15 23:03:10 CEST 2001 i686 unknown and gcc 2.95 I've just posted a patch that adds warning and error logs to 2 places in the prefork mpm that I came across while doing these tests. cheers, -- Cody Sherr Engineer Covalent Technologies phone: (415)536-5292 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
