multithreadingubuntuapache2worker

I cannot determine whether my apache2 installation is prefork or worker (multithreaded) by the output of apache2 -l

I am expecting to see either prefork.c or worker.c but I see neither. My output is below. How can I tell what I'm running? I also do not see the standard configuration parameters for prefork and worker in my apache2.conf - very confused.

root@www:/home/manuel# apache2 -l Compiled in modules: core.c mod_so.c mod_watchdog.c http_core.c mod_log_config.c mod_logio.c mod_version.c mod_unixd.c

What am I running here exactly and how do I optimize it?

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64.

Thanks.

  • In 2.4, MPMs can be dynamically loaded.

    You must use apacehctl -M to list all of the dynamically loaded modules, not just the static ones listed with -l.
