Description: | This Multi-Processing Module is optimized for BeOS. |

Status: | MPM |
Module Identifier: | mpm_beos_module |
Source File: | beos.c |
Summary
This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is the default for BeOS. It uses a single control process which creates threads to handle requests.
MaxRequestsPerThread Directive
Description: | Limit on the number of requests that an individual thread will handle during its life |
---|---|
Syntax: | MaxRequestsPerThread number |
Default: | MaxRequestsPerThread 0 |
Context: | server config |
Status: | MPM |
Module: | beos |
The MaxRequestsPerThread
directive sets
the limit on the number of requests that an individual server thread
will handle. After MaxRequestsPerThread
requests, the thread will die. If MaxRequestsPerThread
is 0
, then the thread
will never expire.
Setting MaxRequestsPerThread
to a
non-zero limit has two beneficial effects:
- it limits the amount of memory that a thread can consume by (accidental) memory leakage;
- by giving threads a finite lifetime, it helps reduce the number of threads when the server load reduces.
Note:
For KeepAlive
requests, only
the first request is counted towards this limit. In effect, it
changes the behavior to limit the number of connections
per thread.
