[users@httpd] Is ServerLimit 256 in prefork mode somehow hardcoded?
I am using Apache on RHEL 7 since along time.
httpd-2.4.6-97.el7_9.x86_64
I use it with mod_mpm_prefork module, the default on Redhat.
I see, shortly after startup, messages in errorlog like
AH00161: server reached MaxRequestWorkers setting, consider raising the
MaxRequestWorkers setting
I have tried to do that
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 20
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 20
ServerLimit 512
MaxRequestWorkers 512
MaxConnectionsPerChild 10000
</IfModule>
I also tried much higher values of ServerLimit and MaxRequestWorkers, like
6400 or 30'000
It makes no difference, the error message appears.
In server-status, I always see four lines of 64 servers, i.e. a total of 256
servers shown, like this:
.R_RRRRR_RRRRRKCCC_C..R_RRRKRRCC.R_CCKRKRRRRRKC.KRKR_R.__RKCRRRK
.KKRWRC_R_RCRRCKR_KRKKRRKKKKRKRC.C_RRRKR_RRRRC.K................
................................................................
................................................................
How can I get beyond these 256 servers?
The machine has 64 cores, and 132 Gb RAM.
I know that I can switch to mod_mpm_event, but before I go that way, I would
like to know why I cannot more than 256 servers in prefork mode.

There is a hard limit of ServerLimit 20000 compiled into the server (for
the prefork MPM 200000). This is intended to avoid nasty effects caused by
typos. To increase it even further past this limit, you will need to modify
the value of MAX_SERVER_LIMIT in the mpm source file and rebuild the server.

Is your MPM a loadable module and loaded after this stanza? ifModule
doesn't work in such a case.
