[users@httpd] Maxservers
Hi,
I have Apache 2.0.59 and configured start servers=8, but on server-status only 4 are shown, also I incresead maxclients to 200 in order to use more RAM available to Apache, is that correct ?
Regards

That's an eight-year-old version of a legacy branch. If you don't have a truly excellent reason for sticking with that, I suggest that you think about upgrading.

StartServers only affects the initial process creation. The number of workers at any time after that will be determined by other factors including (but not limited to) MaxSpareServers and MinSpareServers.

MaxClients determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests which can be served. If you have enough RAM to serve 200 simultaneous requests and deal with everything else the OS will be doing then that would be reasonable, yes.
