#### Default httpd.conf for Mac OS X Server
####
#### This httpd.conf differs from the httpd.conf distributed
#### with Apache and the httpd.conf present on Mac OS X.
#### Feel free to edit this; the Server Admin app also edits this file but will
#### respect your changes unless noted below. See also ReadMe.txt.
##
## ServerType is either inetd, or standalone. Inetd mode is only supported on
## Unix platforms.
##
ServerType standalone
##
## ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
## configuration, error, and log files are kept.
##
## NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
## mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
## (available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile>);
## you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
##
## Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
##
##
ServerRoot "/usr"
##
## PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
## identification number when it starts.
##
PidFile /var/run/httpd.pid
##
## ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
## Not all architectures require this. But if yours does (you'll know because
## this file will be created when you run Apache) then you *must* ensure that
## no two invocations of Apache share the same scoreboard file.
##
ScoreBoardFile "/var/run/apache_runtime_status"
##
## Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess how many
## server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it
## sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to
## handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient
## load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single
## Netscape browser).
##
## It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting
## for a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates
## a new spare. If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
## spares die off. The default values are probably OK for most sites.
##
MinSpareServers 1
MaxSpareServers 5
##
## Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable ballpark
## figure.
##
StartServers 1
##
## MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
## allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so
## as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
## libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems, this
## isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks
## in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000
## or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited.
##
## NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial
## request per connection. For example, if a child process handles
## an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it
## would only count as 1 request towards this limit.
##
MaxRequestsPerChild 100000
##
## Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
##
## To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
## have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
## directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
## Please read the file http://httpd.apache.org/docs/dso.html for more
## details about the DSO mechanism and run `httpd -l' for the list of already
## built-in (statically linked and thus always available) modules in your httpd
## binary.
##
## Note: The order in which modules are loaded is important. Don't change
## the order below without expert advice.
##
## Example:
## LoadModule foo_module libexec/mod_foo.so
##
#### For Mac OS X Server: Note that the Server Admin application
#### and the apxs utility enable and disable modules
#### by removing and adding a comment character.
No doubt, they are both absolute crap.
