Re: Can one Apache process run multiple requests simultaneously?

In Apache 1.x, each Apache process handles only one request at a time, so there's no problem.

In Apache 2.x, each Apache thread handles only one request at a time. *If* the cache is *not* shared among threads, there's no problem. I don't have access to CPAN here, so I can't check whether the cache is shared. It shouldn't be.

Unless you're running on Windows, you should use the prefork MPM (i.e. not threads) with Apache 2 when running mod_perl. Threads use more memory than forked processes because of the way they are implemented in Perl.	[reply]

Thank you very much everyone for the help!!. The application runs on Apache 1.3 as of now and that is a good sign. But it was nice for all the inputs on Apache 2 also.	[reply]
