Each child process creates threads as + specified in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#startthreads">StartThreads</a></code> directive. + The individual threads then + listen for connections and serve them when they arrive.</p> + + <p>Apache always tries to maintain a pool of <dfn>spare</dfn> or + idle server threads, which stand ready to serve incoming + requests. In this way, clients do not need to wait for new + threads to be created. For each child process, Apache assesses + the number of idle threads and creates or destroys threads to + keep this number within the boundaries specified by + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></code> + and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></code>. + Since this process is very self-regulating, it is rarely + necessary to modify these directives from their default values. + The maximum number of clients that may be served simultaneously + is determined by multiplying the number of server processes + that will be created (<code class="directive"><a href="#numservers">NumServers</a></code>) by the maximum + number of threads created in each process + (<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxthreadsperchild">MaxThreadsPerChild</a></code>).</p> + + <p>While the parent process is usually started as root under + Unix in order to bind to port 80, the child processes and + threads are launched by Apache as a less-privileged user. The + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code> directives are used to + set the privileges of the Apache child processes. The child + processes must be able to read all the content that will be + served, but should have as few privileges beyond that as + possible. In addition, unless <code class="program"><a href="../programs/suexec.html">suexec</a></code> is used, + these directives also set the privileges which will be inherited + by CGI scripts.</p> + + <p><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestsperchild">MaxRequestsPerChild</a></code> + controls how frequently the + server recycles processes by killing old ones and launching new + ones.</p> + + <h3><a name="user-ids" id="user-ids">Working with different user-IDs</a></h3> + <p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/perchild.html">perchild</a></code> MPM adds the extra ability to + specify that particular processes should serve requests under + different user-IDs. These user-IDs can then be associated with + specific virtual hosts. You have to use one <code class="directive"><a href="#childperuserid">ChildPerUserID</a></code> directive for + every user/group combination you want to be run. Then you can tie + particular virtual hosts to that user and group IDs.</p> + + <p>The following example runs 7 child processes. Two of them are run + under <code>user1</code>/<code>group1</code>. The next four are run + under <code>user2</code>/<code>group2</code> and the remaining + process uses the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code> + of the main server:</p> + + <div class="example"><h3>Global config</h3><p><code> + NumServers 7<br /> + ChildPerUserID user1 group1 2<br /> + ChildPerUserID user2 group2 4 + </code></p></div> + + <p>Using unbalanced numbers of processes as above is useful, if the + particular virtual hosts produce different load.
