Not sure what I am doing wrong. I have run Apache buddy and it suggests I lower my MaxClients setting in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. It also reports that Apache is using prefork model. So I lower the MaxClients value in apache2.conf here:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 2
MinSpareServers 2
MaxSpareServers 5
MaxClients 12
MaxRequestsPerChild 3000
</IfModule>
I restart apache, run Apache Buddy again, it reports the value as unchanged. What am I missing? This is on Ubuntu 12.04
<IfModule>
blocks and defaults to 256 if it can't findMaxClients
. There appears to be multiple tools called "Apache Buddy" so let me know if I've found the wrong one.
