Before, when I only had regular Apache server, I was monitoring httpd process and usually after it got started, there was just one daemon (httpd) running. But now that SWS 3.1 has been installed, I am seeing as many as 8-10 httpsd processes right after I started (.../init.d/httpsd start)?? Is this normal?

However, I don''t agree with your historical observation. Apache has always created a large number of daemons on startup, unless you specifically change the number of daemons started. I currently have eleven executing. Gene Harris

How old was that? Apache went to multiple server processes quite some time ago.> But now that SWS 3.1 has been installed, I am seeing as many as 8-10 httpsd > processes right after I started (.../init.d/httpsd start)??

Look for the block in your configuration files about "server pool management" and look for these variables. ] MinSpareServers 5 ] MaxSpareServers 10 ] ] # Number of servers to start --- should be a reasonable ballpark figure. ] ] StartServers 5 I think you can figure out what that "StartServers" implies. :-)> ____________________________________________________________________ > Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1Mike -- Michael H.
