Apache MPM Common Directives

Описание:A collection of directives that are implemented by more than one multi-processing module (MPM)
Статус:MPM
top

AcceptMutex Директива

Описание:Method that Apache uses to serialize multiple children accepting requests on network sockets
Синтаксис:AcceptMutex Default|method
По умолчанию:AcceptMutex Default
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

The AcceptMutex directives sets the method that Apache uses to serialize multiple children accepting requests on network sockets. Prior to Apache 2.0, the method was selectable only at compile time. The optimal method to use is highly architecture and platform dependent. For further details, see the performance tuning documentation.

If this directive is set to Default, then the compile-time selected default will be used. Other possible methods are listed below. Note that not all methods are available on all platforms. If a method is specified which is not available, a message will be written to the error log listing the available methods.

flock
uses the flock(2) system call to lock the file defined by the LockFile directive.
fcntl
uses the fcntl(2) system call to lock the file defined by the LockFile directive.
posixsem
uses POSIX compatible semaphores to implement the mutex.
pthread
uses POSIX mutexes as implemented by the POSIX Threads (PThreads) specification.
sysvsem
uses SySV-style semaphores to implement the mutex.

If you want to find out the compile time chosen default for your system, you may set your LogLevel to debug. Then the default AcceptMutex will be written into the ErrorLog.

BS2000Account Директива

Описание:Define the non-privileged account on BS2000 machines
Синтаксис:BS2000Account account
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:perchild, prefork
Совместимость:Only available for BS2000 machines

The BS2000Account directive is available for BS2000 hosts only. It must be used to define the account number for the non-privileged apache server user (which was configured using the User directive). This is required by the BS2000 POSIX subsystem (to change the underlying BS2000 task environment by performing a sub-LOGON) to prevent CGI scripts from accessing resources of the privileged account which started the server, usually SYSROOT.

Примечание

Only one BS2000Account directive can be used.

CoreDumpDirectory Директива

Описание:Directory where Apache attempts to switch before dumping core
Синтаксис:CoreDumpDirectory directory
По умолчанию:See usage for the default setting
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_winnt, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

This controls the directory to which Apache attempts to switch before dumping core. The default is in the ServerRoot directory, however since this should not be writable by the user the server runs as, core dumps won't normally get written. If you want a core dump for debugging, you can use this directive to place it in a different location.

Core Dumps on Linux

If Apache starts as root and switches to another user, the Linux kernel disables core dumps even if the directory is writable for the process. Apache (2.0.46 and later) reenables core dumps on Linux 2.4 and beyond, but only if you explicitly configure a CoreDumpDirectory.

EnableExceptionHook Директива

Описание:Enables a hook that runs exception handlers after a crash
Синтаксис:EnableExceptionHook On|Off
По умолчанию:EnableExceptionHook Off
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker
Совместимость:Available in version 2.0.49 and later

For safety reasons this directive is only available if the server was configured with the --enable-exception-hook option. It enables a hook that allows external modules to plug in and do something after a child crashed.

There are already two modules, mod_whatkilledus and mod_backtrace that make use of this hook. Please have a look at Jeff Trawick's EnableExceptionHook site for more information about these.

Group Директива

Описание:Group under which the server will answer requests
Синтаксис:Group unix-group
По умолчанию:Group #-1
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpmt_os2, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker
Совместимость:Only valid in global server config since Apache 2.0

The Group directive sets the group under which the server will answer requests. In order to use this directive, the server must be run initially as root. If you start the server as a non-root user, it will fail to change to the specified group, and will instead continue to run as the group of the original user. Unix-group is one of:

A group name
Refers to the given group by name.
# followed by a group number.
Refers to a group by its number.

Пример

Group www-group

It is recommended that you set up a new group specifically for running the server. Some admins use user nobody, but this is not always possible or desirable.

Безопасность

Don't set Group (or User) to root unless you know exactly what you are doing, and what the dangers are.

Special note: Use of this directive in <VirtualHost> is no longer supported. To configure your server for suexec use SuexecUserGroup.

Примечание

Although the Group directive is present in the beos and mpmt_os2 MPMs, it is actually a no-op there and only exists for compatibility reasons.

Listen Директива

Описание:IP addresses and ports that the server listens to
Синтаксис:Listen [IP-address:]portnumber
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_netware, mpm_winnt, mpmt_os2, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker
Совместимость:Required directive since Apache 2.0

The Listen directive instructs Apache to listen to only specific IP addresses or ports; by default it responds to requests on all IP interfaces. Listen is now a required directive. If it is not in the config file, the server will fail to start. This is a change from previous versions of Apache.

The Listen directive tells the server to accept incoming requests on the specified port or address-and-port combination. If only a port number is specified, the server listens to the given port on all interfaces. If an IP address is given as well as a port, the server will listen on the given port and interface.

Multiple Listen directives may be used to specify a number of addresses and ports to listen to. The server will respond to requests from any of the listed addresses and ports.

For example, to make the server accept connections on both port 80 and port 8000, use:

Listen 80
Listen 8000

To make the server accept connections on two specified interfaces and port numbers, use

Listen 192.170.2.1:80
Listen 192.170.2.5:8000

IPv6 addresses must be surrounded in square brackets, as in the following example:

Listen [2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea]:80

Error condition

Multiple Listen directives for the same ip address and port will result in an Address already in use error message.

ListenBackLog Директива

Описание:Maximum length of the queue of pending connections
Синтаксис:ListenBacklog backlog
По умолчанию:ListenBacklog 511
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_netware, mpm_winnt, mpmt_os2, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

The maximum length of the queue of pending connections. Generally no tuning is needed or desired, however on some systems it is desirable to increase this when under a TCP SYN flood attack. See the backlog parameter to the listen(2) system call.

This will often be limited to a smaller number by the operating system. This varies from OS to OS. Also note that many OSes do not use exactly what is specified as the backlog, but use a number based on (but normally larger than) what is set.

top

LockFile Директива

Описание:Location of the accept serialization lock file
Синтаксис:LockFile filename
По умолчанию:LockFile logs/accept.lock
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

The LockFile directive sets the path to the lockfile used when Apache is used with an AcceptMutex value of either fcntl or flock. This directive should normally be left at its default value. The main reason for changing it is if the logs directory is NFS mounted, since the lockfile must be stored on a local disk. The PID of the main server process is automatically appended to the filename.

Безопасность

It is best to avoid putting this file in a world writable directory such as /var/tmp because someone could create a denial of service attack and prevent the server from starting by creating a lockfile with the same name as the one the server will try to create.

MaxClients Директива

Описание:Maximum number of child processes that will be created to serve requests
Синтаксис:MaxClients number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, prefork, threadpool, worker

The MaxClients directive sets the limit on the number of simultaneous requests that will be served. Any connection attempts over the MaxClients limit will normally be queued, up to a number based on the ListenBacklog directive. Once a child process is freed at the end of a different request, the connection will then be serviced.

For non-threaded servers (i.e., prefork), MaxClients translates into the maximum number of child processes that will be launched to serve requests. The default value is 256; to increase it, you must also raise ServerLimit.

For threaded and hybrid servers (e.g. beos or worker) MaxClients restricts the total number of threads that will be available to serve clients. The default value for beos is 50. For hybrid MPMs the default value is 16 (ServerLimit) multiplied by the value of 25 (ThreadsPerChild). Therefore, to increase MaxClients to a value that requires more than 16 processes, you must also raise ServerLimit.

top

MaxMemFree Директива

Описание:Maximum amount of memory that the main allocator is allowed to hold without calling free()
Синтаксис:MaxMemFree KBytes
По умолчанию:MaxMemFree 0
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_netware, prefork, threadpool, worker, mpm_winnt

The MaxMemFree directive sets the maximum number of free Kbytes that the main allocator is allowed to hold without calling free(). When not set, or when set to zero, the threshold will be set to unlimited.

top

MaxRequestsPerChild Директива

Описание:Limit on the number of requests that an individual child server will handle during its life
Синтаксис:MaxRequestsPerChild number
По умолчанию:MaxRequestsPerChild 10000
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, mpm_netware, mpm_winnt, mpmt_os2, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

The MaxRequestsPerChild directive sets the limit on the number of requests that an individual child server process will handle. After MaxRequestsPerChild requests, the child process will die. If MaxRequestsPerChild is 0, then the process will never expire.

Different default values

The default value for mpm_netware and mpm_winnt is 0.

Setting MaxRequestsPerChild to a non-zero limit has two beneficial effects:

  • it limits the amount of memory that process can consume by (accidental) memory leakage;
  • by giving processes a finite lifetime, it helps reduce the number of processes when the server load reduces.

Примечание

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 child.

top

MaxSpareThreads Директива

Описание:Maximum number of idle threads
Синтаксис:MaxSpareThreads number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_netware, mpmt_os2, perchild, threadpool, worker

Maximum number of idle threads. Different MPMs deal with this directive differently.

For perchild the default is MaxSpareThreads 10. This MPM monitors the number of idle threads on a per-child basis. If there are too many idle threads in that child, the server will begin to kill threads within that child.

For worker, leader and threadpool the default is MaxSpareThreads 250. These MPMs deal with idle threads on a server-wide basis. If there are too many idle threads in the server then child processes are killed until the number of idle threads is less than this number.

For mpm_netware the default is MaxSpareThreads 100. Since this MPM runs a single-process, the spare thread count is also server-wide.

beos and mpmt_os2 work similar to mpm_netware. The default for beos is MaxSpareThreads 50. For mpmt_os2 the default value is 10.

Restrictions

The range of the MaxSpareThreads value is restricted. Apache will correct the given value automatically according to the following rules:

MinSpareThreads Директива

Описание:Minimum number of idle threads available to handle request spikes
Синтаксис:MinSpareThreads number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_netware, mpmt_os2, perchild, threadpool, worker

Minimum number of idle threads to handle request spikes. Different MPMs deal with this directive differently.

perchild uses a default of MinSpareThreads 5 and monitors the number of idle threads on a per-child basis. If there aren't enough idle threads in that child, the server will begin to create new threads within that child. Thus, if you set NumServers to 10 and a MinSpareThreads value of 5, you'll have at least 50 idle threads on your system.

worker, leader and threadpool use a default of MinSpareThreads 75 and deal with idle threads on a server-wide basis. If there aren't enough idle threads in the server then child processes are created until the number of idle threads is greater than number.

mpm_netware uses a default of MinSpareThreads 10 and, since it is a single-process MPM, tracks this on a server-wide bases.

beos and mpmt_os2 work similar to mpm_netware. The default for beos is MinSpareThreads 1. For mpmt_os2 the default value is 5.

PidFile Директива

Описание:File where the server records the process ID of the daemon
Синтаксис:PidFile filename
По умолчанию:PidFile logs/httpd.pid
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_winnt, mpmt_os2, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

The PidFile directive sets the file to which the server records the process id of the daemon. If the filename is not absolute then it is assumed to be relative to the ServerRoot.

Пример

PidFile /var/run/apache.pid

It is often useful to be able to send the server a signal, so that it closes and then re-opens its ErrorLog and TransferLog, and re-reads its configuration files. This is done by sending a SIGHUP (kill -1) signal to the process id listed in the PidFile.

The PidFile is subject to the same warnings about log file placement and Безопасность.

Примечание

As of Apache 2 it is recommended to use only the apachectl script for (re-)starting or stopping the server.

top

ReceiveBufferSize Директива

Описание:TCP receive buffer size
Синтаксис:ReceiveBufferSize bytes
По умолчанию:ReceiveBufferSize 0
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_netware, mpm_winnt, mpmt_os2, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

The server will set the TCP receive buffer size to the number of bytes specified.

If set to the value of 0, the server will use the OS default.

top

ScoreBoardFile Директива

Описание:Location of the file used to store coordination data for the child processes
Синтаксис:ScoreBoardFile file-path
По умолчанию:ScoreBoardFile logs/apache_status
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_winnt, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

Apache uses a scoreboard to communicate between its parent and child processes. Some architectures require a file to facilitate this communication. If the file is left unspecified, Apache first attempts to create the scoreboard entirely in memory (using anonymous shared memory) and, failing that, will attempt to create the file on disk (using file-based shared memory). Specifying this directive causes Apache to always create the file on the disk.

Пример

ScoreBoardFile /var/run/apache_status

File-based shared memory is useful for third-party applications that require direct access to the scoreboard.

If you use a ScoreBoardFile then you may see improved speed by placing it on a RAM disk. But be careful that you heed the same warnings about log file placement and Безопасность.

SendBufferSize Директива

Описание:TCP buffer size
Синтаксис:SendBufferSize bytes
По умолчанию:SendBufferSize 0
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, leader, mpm_netware, mpm_winnt, mpmt_os2, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

The server will set the TCP send buffer size to the number of bytes specified. Very useful to increase past standard OS defaults on high speed high latency (i.e., 100ms or so, such as transcontinental fast pipes).

If set to the value of 0, the server will use the OS default.

top

ServerLimit Директива

Описание:Upper limit on configurable number of processes
Синтаксис:ServerLimit number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker

For the prefork MPM, this directive sets the maximum configured value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the Apache process. For the worker MPM, this directive in combination with ThreadLimit sets the maximum configured value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the Apache process. Any attempts to change this directive during a restart will be ignored, but MaxClients can be modified during a restart.

Special care must be taken when using this directive. If ServerLimit is set to a value much higher than necessary, extra, unused shared memory will be allocated. If both ServerLimit and MaxClients are set to values higher than the system can handle, Apache may not start or the system may become unstable.

With the prefork MPM, use this directive only if you need to set MaxClients higher than 256 (default). Do not set the value of this directive any higher than what you might want to set MaxClients to.

With worker, leader and threadpool use this directive only if your MaxClients and ThreadsPerChild settings require more than 16 server processes (default). Do not set the value of this directive any higher than the number of server processes required by what you may want for MaxClients and ThreadsPerChild.

With the perchild MPM, use this directive only if you need to set NumServers higher than 8 (default).

Примечание

There is a hard limit of ServerLimit 20000 compiled into the server. This is intended to avoid nasty effects caused by typos.

StartServers Директива

Описание:Number of child server processes created at startup
Синтаксис:StartServers number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, mpmt_os2, prefork, threadpool, worker

The StartServers directive sets the number of child server processes created on startup. As the number of processes is dynamically controlled depending on the load, there is usually little reason to adjust this parameter.

The default value differs from MPM to MPM. For leader, threadpool and worker the default is StartServers 3. For prefork defaults to 5 and for mpmt_os2 to 2.

top

StartThreads Директива

Описание:Number of threads created on startup
Синтаксис:StartThreads number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:beos, mpm_netware, perchild

Number of threads created on startup. As the number of threads is dynamically controlled depending on the load, there is usually little reason to adjust this parameter.

For perchild the default is StartThreads 5 and this directive tracks the number of threads per process at startup.

For mpm_netware the default is StartThreads 50 and, since there is only a single process, this is the total number of threads created at startup to serve requests.

For beos the default is StartThreads 10. It also reflects the total number of threads created at startup to serve requests.

top

ThreadLimit Директива

Описание:Sets the upper limit on the configurable number of threads per child process
Синтаксис:ThreadLimit number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, mpm_winnt, perchild, threadpool, worker
Совместимость:Available for mpm_winnt in Apache 2.0.41 and later

This directive sets the maximum configured value for ThreadsPerChild for the lifetime of the Apache process. Any attempts to change this directive during a restart will be ignored, but ThreadsPerChild can be modified during a restart up to the value of this directive.

Special care must be taken when using this directive. If ThreadLimit is set to a value much higher than ThreadsPerChild, extra unused shared memory will be allocated. If both ThreadLimit and ThreadsPerChild are set to values higher than the system can handle, Apache may not start or the system may become unstable. Do not set the value of this directive any higher than your greatest predicted setting of ThreadsPerChild for the current run of Apache.

The default value for ThreadLimit is 1920 when used with mpm_winnt and 64 when used with the others.

Примечание

There is a hard limit of ThreadLimit 20000 (or ThreadLimit 15000 with mpm_winnt) compiled into the server. This is intended to avoid nasty effects caused by typos.

top

ThreadsPerChild Директива

Описание:Number of threads created by each child process
Синтаксис:ThreadsPerChild number
По умолчанию:See usage for details
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, mpm_winnt, threadpool, worker

This directive sets the number of threads created by each child process. The child creates these threads at startup and never creates more. If using an MPM like mpm_winnt, where there is only one child process, this number should be high enough to handle the entire load of the server. If using an MPM like worker, where there are multiple child processes, the total number of threads should be high enough to handle the common load on the server.

The default value for ThreadsPerChild is 64 when used with mpm_winnt and 25 when used with the others.

top

User Директива

Описание:The userid under which the server will answer requests
Синтаксис:User unix-userid
По умолчанию:User #-1
Контекст:server config
Статус:MPM
Модуль:leader, perchild, prefork, threadpool, worker
Совместимость:Only valid in global server config since Apache 2.0

The User directive sets the user ID as which the server will answer requests. In order to use this directive, the server must be run initially as root. If you start the server as a non-root user, it will fail to change to the lesser privileged user, and will instead continue to run as that original user. If you do start the server as root, then it is normal for the parent process to remain running as root. Unix-userid is one of:

A username
Refers to the given user by name.
# followed by a user number.
Refers to a user by its number.

The user should have no privileges that result in it being able to access files that are not intended to be visible to the outside world, and similarly, the user should not be able to execute code that is not meant for HTTP requests. It is recommended that you set up a new user and group specifically for running the server. Some admins use user nobody, but this is not always desirable, since the nobody user can have other uses on the system.

Безопасность

Don't set User (or Group) to root unless you know exactly what you are doing, and what the dangers are.

With the perchild MPM, which is intended to server virtual hosts run under different user IDs, the User directive defines the user ID for the main server and the fallback for <VirtualHost> sections without an AssignUserID directive.

Special note: Use of this directive in <VirtualHost> is no longer supported. To configure your server for suexec use SuexecUserGroup.

Примечание

Although the User directive is present in the beos and mpmt_os2 MPMs, it is actually a no-op there and only exists for compatibility reasons.
