Warning about number of apache processes

Feedback 2.4 Beta
1

When running Setup->Maintenance->Analyze configuration on 2.4 there is a warning about the number of Apache processes.
This defaults to 64. I’ve lowered it to 32 in the global settings and also set ServerLimit to 32 in /omd/sites/mysite/etc/apache/apache.conf
The server has plenty of RAM and

ps aux | grep apache2 | wc -l

says 11 right now

But the warning persists.
It’s not really a serious probem, just an irritation.
Should I ignore it - or how do I fix it?

Hi @egmont ,

I can refer you to a talk done by Lars at this years conference:
https://www.youtube.com/live/KRayNjbifgg?feature=shared&t=19611

With 2.4 there are more insights into the Apache process in general.

Probably, this helps to analyze the issue further.

Best
Torsten

Hi @egmont! Actually the Analyze Configuration page has all the information you need and tells you exactly what to do, if read carefully:

P.S.: You do not want to manually change /omd/sites/mysite/etc/apache/apache.conf.
