apache2 worker 模式配置

apache mpm worker , 多核 cpu 下的进程/线程混合调度机制，是apache 在2.2版本之后引入的。官方介绍：

This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) implements a hybrid multi-process multi-threaded server. By using threads to serve requests, it is able to serve a large number of requests with fewer system resources than a process-based server. However, it retains much of the stability of a process-based server by keeping multiple processes available, each with many threads.

较高的处理效率是 worker 模式的最大优点。

出于稳定和跨平台的考虑，apache2 默认编译 为 prefork模式（多进程模式）。所以，要使用 worker模式，我们还需要多费些手脚。

worker   模式的编译和安装：

#有关参数的解释和更多参数，可使用 --help 参数 获得帮助
[fancp@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2worker --enable-so --with-mpm=worker

[fancp@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ make clean

[fancp@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ make

[fancp@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ su

[root@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ mkdir /usr/local/apache2worker

[root@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ chown fancp /usr/local/apache2worker

[root@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ exit

[fancp@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ make install

[fancp@RedhatFancp httpd-2.2.17]$ /usr/local/apache2worker/bin/apachectl start

可以看到五个进程。

fancp@RedhatFancp bin]$ ps -ef |grep httpd
fancp    15242     1  0 23:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2worker/bin/httpd -k start
fancp    15243 15242  0 23:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2worker/bin/httpd -k start
fancp    15244 15242  0 23:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2worker/bin/httpd -k start
fancp    15246 15242  0 23:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2worker/bin/httpd -k start
fancp    15248 15242  0 23:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2worker/bin/httpd -k start
fancp    15329  4762  0 23:19 pts/1    00:00:00 grep httpd

观察上面进程列表，发现 进程 15242 的父进程 pid 是1，同时它也是 进程 15243，15244,15246, 15248 的父进程。

为什么是5个进程呢？5个进程之间有什么关系呢？

mpm_default.h 中设置了默认进程数（DEFAULT_START_DAEMON），最大进程数（DEFAULT_MAX_FREE_DAEMON），最小进程数（DEFAULT_MIN_FREE_DAEMON）。在没有参数配置的情况下，会应用这些值。在 2.2.17 的版本中， DEFAULT_START_DAEMON 的值是 3。所以，上面的5个进程的组成是：一个listen 进程，3个 recv进程.还有一个进程，我就不知道啦。

修改配置文件 http.conf，加入以下内容，设置主线程为1：

# worker MPM
# StartServers: initial number of server processes to start
# MaxClients: maximum number of simultaneous client connections
# MinSpareThreads: minimum number of worker threads which are kept spare
# MaxSpareThreads: maximum number of worker threads which are kept spare
# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in each server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
<IfModule mpm_worker_module>
    StartServers          1
    MaxClients           15
    MinSpareThreads       1
    MaxSpareThreads       1 
    ThreadsPerChild       1
    MaxRequestsPerChild   0
</IfModule>
