Apache Mpm Event

[ReN]

Hey guys curious issue,

Freebsd 9.3, Apache 2.4, Php 5.6

httpd -V

Server version: Apache/2.4.16 (Unix)
Server built: Oct 9 2015 00:16:45
Server's Module Magic Number: 20120211:47
Server loaded: APR 1.5.2, APR-UTIL 1.5.4
Compiled using: APR 1.5.2, APR-UTIL 1.5.4
Architecture: 64-bit
Server MPM: event
threaded: yes (fixed thread count)
forked: yes (variable process count)

This is the http-mpm.conf file

<IfModule mpm_event_module>
StartServers 6
MinSpareThreads 32
MaxSpareThreads 128
ThreadsPerChild 64
ServerLimit 32
MaxRequestWorkers 2048
MaxConnectionsPerChild 10000
</IfModule>


But for some reason a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart only starts up 3 processes.... also tried a rebuild from custombuild , same deal ... any ideas???

Please check the output of:

grep mpm_ /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-phpmodules.conf

root@server # grep mpm_ /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-phpmodules.conf
LoadModule mpm_event_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_mpm_event.so

Hey SM , thank you for the response as always mate... the more i think about it the more I'm coming to the conclusion it maybe an "On Demand" thing, more processes are started as the load increases... would this be a possibility?
