While doing some performance measurements this morning, I noticed that our Apache server was not using persistent connections. I checked the config file, and sure enough: KeepAlive Off
This is not necessarily a mistake...just a configuration setting that is probably not the best choice from most servers - enabling persistent connections helps performance -- which is why I thought y'all might be interested. FYI, it was a RH7 box, I think (it's been updated several times).
However, I just checked another server that I have recently installed with RedHat 9 - and the setting says this: KeepAlive false
The config file comments state that "Off" is required to disable persistent connections:
> # > # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than > # one request per connection). Set to "OFF" to deactivate. > # > KeepAlive false
I ran a quick test - and persistent connections are turned ON with this setting. Which is exactly NOT what I get from "KeepAlive false". It seems like a mistake - either in the default setting or the docs. Am I just reading this wrong? I wanted to get a sanity check before I file a bug report on this.
Also, should I file this bug with RedHat, since (I assume) they've customized it for their distribution?
