Your httpd.conf suggests you've got mod_status enabled. Therefore visit the /server-status URL on your web server. This should cause Apache httpd to provide a page that summarises the status of all its workers. That may help you understand why you've got more httpd processes than expected.
Also, I've found the MaxRequestsPerChild directive to be useful on an installation of mine that would lock up occasionally. Your config shows the directive set to 4000 for the prefork MPM, but 0 (infinity) for the worker MPM. Check which MPM you're using (execute "httpd -V") and ensure that MaxRequestsPerChild is taking effect. The config file contains a set of MPM tuning directives, duplicated for prefork and worker, make sure the required configuration is actually active. -- Paul On Tuesday, September 10, 2013 11:36:59 PM UTC+1, Steve wrote: > > I see the 'server cache' information in the admin page.
