tuning

When running a web server, particularly Apache HTTP Server on a Linux system, optimizing configurations to suit specific hardware capabilities and traffic expectations is crucial. Two key configuration directives that can significantly impact the performance and stability of an Apache server are MaxRequestWorkers and ServerLimit. In this blog post, we will explore what these directives do, why they are important, and how to tune them effectively. Before diving into tuning, it’s important to understand what these directives do. MaxRequestWorkers specifies the maximum number of worker threads/processes that Apache will run simultaneously.
