Apache always tries to maintain several <dfn>spare</dfn> 43 or idle worker threads, which stand ready to serve incoming 44 requests. In this way, clients do not need to wait for a new 45 child threads to be spawned before their requests can be 46 served.</p> 47 48 <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#startthreads">StartThreads</a></code>, 49 <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></code>, 50 <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></code>, and 51 <code class="directive"><a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></code> 52 regulate how the main thread creates worker threads to serve 53 requests. In general, Apache is very self-regulating, so most 54 sites do not need to adjust these directives from their default 55 values. Sites with limited memory may need to decrease <code class="directive"><a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></code> to keep the server from 56 thrashing (spawning and terminating idle threads). More information 57 about tuning process creation is provided in the <a href="/misc/perf-tuning.html">performance hints</a> 58 documentation.</p> 59 60 <p><code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestsperchild">MaxRequestsPerChild</a></code> 61 controls how frequently the server recycles processes by killing old 62 ones and launching new ones. On the NetWare OS it is highly 63 recommended that this directive remain set to 0. This allows worker 64 threads to continue servicing requests indefinitely.</p> 65</div> 66<div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3> 67<ul id="toc"> 68<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></li> 69<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#listenbacklog">ListenBacklog</a></li> 70<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#maxmemfree">MaxMemFree</a></li> 71<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#maxrequestsperchild">MaxRequestsPerChild</a></li> 72<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></li> 73<li><img alt="" src="/images/down.gif" /> <a href="#maxthreads">MaxThreads</a></li> 74<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></li> 75<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#receivebuffersize">ReceiveBufferSize</a></li> 76<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#sendbuffersize">SendBufferSize</a></li> 77<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#startthreads">StartThreads</a></li> 78<li><img alt="" src="/images/right.gif" /> <a href="mpm_common.html#threadstacksize">ThreadStackSize</a></li> 79</ul> 80<h3>See also</h3> 81<ul class="seealso"> 82<li><a href="/bind.html">Setting which addresses and 83 ports Apache uses</a> 84</li> 85</ul><ul class="seealso"><li><a href="#comments_section">Comments</a></li></ul></div> 86 87<div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="/images/up.gif" /></a></div> 88<div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="MaxThreads" id="MaxThreads">MaxThreads</a> <a name="maxthreads" id="maxthreads">Directive</a></h2> 89<table class="directive"> 90<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Description">Description:</a></th><td>Set the maximum number of worker threads</td></tr> 91<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Syntax">Syntax:</a></th><td><code>MaxThreads <var>number</var></code></td></tr> 92<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Default">Default:</a></th><td><code>MaxThreads 2048</code></td></tr> 93<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Context">Context:</a></th><td>server config</td></tr> 94<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Status">Status:</a></th><td>MPM</td></tr> 95<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Module">Module:</a></th><td>mpm_netware</td></tr> 96</table> 97 <p>The <code class="directive">MaxThreads</code> directive sets the desired 98 maximum number worker threads allowable.
