Hi I have couple of questions on my apache default configuration that we integrate within opensolaris and it was brought to my attention that I raise this issue with our in house apache httpd experts. Currently, we provide the following tuned settings within our httpd.conf
<IfModule prefork.c> ListenBacklog 8192 ServerLimit 2048 MaxClients 2048 </IfModule> Now, this is a MPM specific tuning. I am wondering, if we should move such mpm specific tuning within /etc/apache2/2.2/conf.d/httpd-mpm.conf ? I guess, this value was provided as a default value based on the metrics observed within our cool stack version of apache ? Now, within cool stack, there is only prefork mpm. however, in our case - web stack version - we do integrate both worker as well as prefork mpm. So, it probably makes that we provide tuned values for both these mpm. Also, should we not probably consider having different default values that suites best for niagara specific processors compared to intel / amd . Now, with respect to coming up with tuned default values - it is a big question on its own and I will leave it to apache project members and experts to sort it out and come up with the numbers :-) - Sriram
