I'm confused about the ServerLimit and MaxClients Apache configuration directives. How do these directives affect each other?

Depends which MPM you're using. Consult the documentation. – Shane Madden Mar 17 '12 at 20:17

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

They are not affect each other. MaxClients defines rate of servers respawn, ServerLimit limit number of apache forks each moment.

The apache documentation for MaxClients references a need to raise the ServerLimit under certain conditions. Surely they affect each other somehow? – Brad Koch Aug 9 '12 at 21:15
