Running standalone (the apache="YES" line), it forks itself to keep between 5 and 10 servers free to handle requests, up to the maximum specified (all values adjustable). If you get the package from the FreeBSD distribution, forget running it under inetd. I get the original source from http://www.apache.org (they're up to version 1.1.1 now), so I can enable the dbm module. If you want to run it under inetd, you should do the same and also read the documentation available on the apache site and in its distribution. The main drawback to running apache under inetd is that it takes time to start each instance of the server. Running it standalone, several copies are waiting for any request. Info on virtual hosting is also available at the apache site. I hope this helps! -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
