[users@httpd] Httpd Performance

[Mohit Anchlia <mo...@gmail.com>]

Have couple of questions:

1. Does Apache spawns a new httpd process for every request that it gets.
For eg: if there are 10 httpd processes and I sent a request from browser to
Apache then would it create 11th httpd process to handle the new request
2. How to monitor Apache performance, number of resources it's using and if
it's reaching threshold values defined in Apache (pool, threads, files )
etc.

usually not, but you configure it to do so.

you can configure many limits in apache's config file.
There are system/process monitoring tools that are not part of apache.
There's mod_status that can display some informations.
