apache spawning too many processes despite maxclient and other constraints
- by Josh Nankin
Here are my MPM constraints:
StartServers 10
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 10
MaxRequestsPerChild 2000
However despite this, I have over 20 apache processes running currently, and in the past hour or two there have been as many as 40-50. Shouldn't the MaxClient and MaxSpareServers keep the number of processes under control (i.e. about 10)?
Is there something I'm missing?
