httpd_mpm.conf文件在你apache安装上当的\\conf\\extra中，还在就是在要apache httpd.conf中把#Include conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf前面的#号去了哦。
Apache在配置编译时可以自主的选择想要使用的MPM模块，使用./configure --with-mpm=MPM命令。我们主要了解prefork和worker这两种MPM模块。
Prefork
如果不用“--with-mpm”显式指定某种MPM，prefork就是Unix平台上缺省的MPM。它所采用的预派生子进程方式，用单独的子进程来处理不同的请求，进程之间彼此独立。在make编译和make install安装后，使用httpd -l来确定当前使用的
MPM是prefork.c。查看httpd-mpm.conf配置文件，里面包含如下默认的配置段：
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule> |
prefork控制进程在最初建立“StartServers”个子进程后，为了满足MinSpareServers设置的需要创建一个进程，等待一秒钟，继续创建两个，再等待一秒钟，继续创建四个……如此按指数级增加创建的进程数，最多达到每秒32个，直到满足MinSpareServers设置的值为止。这种模式可以不必在请求到来时再产生新的进程，从而减小了系统开销以增加性能。MaxSpareServers设置了最大的空闲进程数，如果空闲进程数大于这个值，Apache会自动kill掉一些多余进程。这个值不要设得过大，但如果设的值比MinSpareServers小，Apache会自动把其调整为MinSpareServers+1。如果站点负载较大，可考虑同时加大MinSpareServers和MaxSpareServers。MaxRequestsPerChild设置的是每个子进程可处理的请求数。每个子进程在处理了“MaxRequestsPerChild”个请求后将自动销毁。0意味着无限，即子进程永不销毁。虽然缺省设为0可以使每个子进程处理更多的请求，但如果设成非零值也有两点重要的好处：1、可防止意外的内存泄漏。2、在服务器负载下降的时侯会自动减少子进程数。因此，可根据服务器的负载来调整这个值。MaxClients是这些指令中最为重要的一个，设定的是Apache可以同时处理的请求，是对Apache性能影响最大的参数。其缺省值150是远远不够的，如果请求总数已达到这个值（可通过ps -ef|grep http|wc -l来确认），那么后面的请求就要排队，直到某个已处理请求完毕。这就是系统资源还剩下很多而HTTP访问却很慢的主要原因。虽然理论上这个值越大，可以处理的请求就越多，但Apache默认的限制不能大于256。ServerLimit指令无须重编译Apache就可以加大MaxClients。ServerLimt应该放在第一个位置，放在其他指令之间不起作用(不明白原因)。
<IfModule prefork.c>
ServerLimit 10000
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 10000
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule> |
Worker
相对于prefork，worker全新的支持多线程和多进程混合模型的MPM。由于使用线程来处理，所以可以处理相对海量的请求，而系统资源的开销要小于基于进程的服务器。但是，worker也使用了多进程，每个进程又生成多个线程，以获得基于进程服务器的稳定性。在configure --with-mpm=worker后，进行make编译、make install安装。在缺省生成的httpd-mpm.conf中有以下默认配置段：
<IfModule worker.c>
StartServers 2
MaxClients 150
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 75
ThreadsPerChild 25
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule> |
Worker由主控制进程生成“StartServers”个子进程，每个子进程中包含固定的ThreadsPerChild线程数，各个线程独立地处理请求。同样，为了不在请求到来时再生成线程，MinSpareThreads和MaxSpareThreads设置了最少和最多的空闲线程数；而MaxClients设置了同时连入的clients最大总数。如果现有子进程中的线程总数不能满足负载，控制进程将派生新的子进程。MinSpareThreads和MaxSpareThreads的最大缺省值分别是75和250。这两个参数对Apache的性能影响并不大，可以按照实际情况相应调节。ThreadsPerChild是worker MPM中与性能相关最密切的指令。ThreadsPerChild的最大缺省值是64，如果负载较大，64也是不够的。这时要显式使用ThreadLimit指令，它的最大缺省值是20000。Worker模式下所能同时处理的请求总数是由子进程总数乘以ThreadsPerChild值决定的，应该大于等于MaxClients。如果负载很大，现有的子进程数不能满足时，控制进程会派生新的子进程。默认最大的子进程总数是16，加大时也需要显式声明ServerLimit（最大值是20000）。需要注意的是，如果显式声明了ServerLimit，那么它乘以ThreadsPerChild的值必须大于等于MaxClients，而且MaxClients必须是ThreadsPerChild的整数倍，否则Apache将会自动调节到一个相应值。
<IfModule worker.c>
ServerLimit 25
ThreadLimit 200
StartServers 3
MaxClients 2000
MinSpareThreads 50
MaxSpareThreads 200
ThreadsPerChild 100
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule> |
下面是利用Apache自带的测试工具ab对Server进行测试的情况(设定请求的index页面为6bytes,Apache Server配置2cpu 2G memory),cpu%为cpu占用率，mem为内存使用量(M为单位)，RequestsPerSecond为每秒处理的请求数。

相对来说，prefork方式速度要稍高于worker，然而它需要的cpu和memory资源也稍多于woker。
