Topic: What about mpm_winnt_module in Apache 2.2.2?

[zanders]

Hi,

I have a question about the modul "mpm_winnt_module". It seem to be, that no module in the htpd.conf script are loaded.

Apache 2.0.58

WinNT MPM
# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in the server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
<IfModule mpm_winnt.c>
ThreadsPerChild 64
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
MaxMemFree 100
</IfModule>

Apache 2.2.2

# The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
<IfModule !mpm_winnt_module>
<IfModule !mpm_netware_module>
LockFile logs/accept.lock
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

My Question is now, if I can copy the WinNT MPM from the Conf Apache 2.0.58 in the Conf of Apache 2.2.2, or is the "mpm_winnt_module" running when Apache2.2.2 is starting?
And what about ThreadsPerChild, MaxRequestsPerChild, MaxMemFree are they still a function?

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure about what you are worried.

When you excute in a DOS box httpd.exe -V , the you see that the loaded Server MPM is winnt.


When you look in conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf you see as default:

<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
ThreadsPerChild 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>

According to the 2.2 docu you can still use the directives you have in 2.0.x , see eg. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#maxmemfree

Btw the line <IfModule !mpm_winnt_module> means: if NOT mpm-winnt


Bottom line, there is no difference as far I can see.
