+<h2><a name="how-it-works" id="how-it-works">How it works</a></h2>
+ <p>A single control process launches the number of child processes
+ indicated by the <code class="directive"><a href="#numservers">NumServers</a></code>
+ directive at server startup. 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. The assignment to
+ the virtual hosts is easily done as in the example below. In
+ conclusion with the example above the following assumes, that
+ <code>server2</code> has to serve about twice of the hits of
+ <code>server1</code>.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code>
+ NameVirtualHost *<br />
+ <br />
+ &lt;VirtualHost *&gt;<br />
+ <span class="indent">
+ ServerName fallbackhost<br />
+ # no assignment; use fallback<br />
+ </span>
+ &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;<br />
+ <br />
+ &lt;VirtualHost *&gt;<br />
+ <span class="indent">
+ ServerName server1<br />
+ AssignUserID user1 group1<br />
+ </span>
+ &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;<br />
+ <br />
+ &lt;VirtualHost *&gt;<br />
+ <span class="indent">
