Apache HTTP Server always tries to maintain several <dfn>spare</dfn> 44 or idle worker threads, which stand ready to serve incoming 45 requests. In this way, clients do not need to wait for a new 46 child threads to be spawned before their requests can be 47 served.</p> 48 49 <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#startthreads">StartThreads</a></code>, 50 <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></code>, 51 <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></code>, and 52 <code class="directive"><a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></code> 53 regulate how the main thread creates worker threads to serve 54 requests. In general, Apache httpd is very self-regulating, so most 55 sites do not need to adjust these directives from their default 56 values. Sites with limited memory may need to decrease <code class="directive"><a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></code> to keep the server from 57 thrashing (spawning and terminating idle threads). More information 58 about tuning process creation is provided in the <a href="/misc/perf-tuning.html">performance hints</a> 59 documentation.</p> 60 61 <p><code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#maxconnectionsperchild">MaxConnectionsPerChild</a></code> 62 controls how frequently the server recycles processes by killing old 63 ones and launching new ones. On the NetWare OS it is highly 64 recommended that this directive remain set to 0. This allows worker 65 threads to continue servicing requests indefinitely.</p> 66</div> 67<div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3> 68<ul id="toc"> 69<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></li> 70<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#listenbacklog">ListenBacklog</a></li> 71<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#maxconnectionsperchild">MaxConnectionsPerChild</a></li> 72<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#maxmemfree">MaxMemFree</a></li> 73<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></li> 74<li><img alt="" src="/images/down.gif" /> <a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></li> 75<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></li> 76<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#receivebuffersize">ReceiveBufferSize</a></li> 77<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#sendbuffersize">SendBufferSize</a></li> 78<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#startthreads">StartThreads</a></li> 79<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#threadstacksize">ThreadStackSize</a></li> 80</ul> 81<h3>See also</h3> 82<ul class="seealso"> 83<li><a href="/bind.html">Setting which addresses and 84 ports Apache httpd uses</a> 85</li> 86</ul><ul class="seealso"><li><a href="#comments_section">Comments</a></li></ul></div> 87 88<div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="/images/up.gif" /></a></div> 89<div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="MaxThreads" id="MaxThreads">MaxThreads</a> <a name="maxthreads" id="maxthreads">Directive</a></h2> 90<table class="directive"> 91<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Description">Description:</a></th><td>Set the maximum number of worker threads</td></tr> 92<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Syntax">Syntax:</a></th><td><code>MaxThreads <var>number</var></code></td></tr> 93<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Default">Default:</a></th><td><code>MaxThreads 2048</code></td></tr> 94<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Context">Context:</a></th><td>server config</td></tr> 95<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Status">Status:</a></th><td>MPM</td></tr> 96<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Module">Module:</a></th><td>mpm_netware</td></tr> 97</table> 98 <p>The <code class="directive">MaxThreads</code> directive sets the desired 99 maximum number worker threads allowable.
