RE: Optimal Apache22 configuration
Hi Tom, Thanks for your input. As far as I can remember there were experimental support for kqueue polling events on apache2 which I remember as nice performance improvement. But unfortunately I can't find any info regarding kqueue for apache22. Is this possible for apache22?

Cheers Tom Hi Marcio (Please don't top post, it destroys the logical flow of the conversation :) Apache 2.2 by default uses epoll() or kqueue() if it is available. Indeed, it is mandatory for the event MPM to work correctly. From the event manual page: ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/event.html ) The MPM assumes that the underlying apr_pollset implementation is reasonably threadsafe. This enables the MPM to avoid excessive high level locking, or having to wake up the listener thread in order to send it a keep-alive socket. This is currently only compatible with KQueue and EPoll. The use of kqueue is actually performed by the underlying apr implementation, but I'm sure if it is available to apr, it will use it.

As I look in to Makefile, you can use WITH_MPM=event and Apache will use KQueue http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/event.html (but I am not 100% sure, I am using prefork) Miroslav Lachman ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
