[users@httpd] what configuration for multi-user webserver

[Jochen Kächelin <jk...@linux.amsjk.de>]

My current configuration (2.0.40 / Red Hat Valhalla):

Compiled in modules:
  core.c
  mod_access.c
  mod_auth.c
  mod_include.c
  mod_log_config.c
  mod_env.c
  mod_setenvif.c
  mod_ssl.c
  prefork.c
  http_core.c
  mod_mime.c
  mod_status.c
  mod_autoindex.c
  mod_asis.c
  mod_cgi.c
  mod_negotiation.c
  mod_dir.c
  mod_imap.c
  mod_actions.c
  mod_userdir.c
  mod_alias.c
  mod_so.c

  Is  prefork  the recommended setting for a webserver with about 50
  VirtualHosts, or dexter, worker....?

  How can I switch to Dexter?

Prefork is recommended for the most stable possible server, especially 
if you are using modules like php or mod_perl that depend on third-party 
libraries.  Worker is recommended for the greatest scalability.

All other unix mpms are experimental and should not be used unless you 
want to be involved in the development process.
