Apache httpd 2.2 starts with ThreadsPerChild exceeding ThreadLimit warning message
Issue
I got the following warning log message when I start Apache httpd:
WARNING: ThreadsPerChild of 100 exceeds ThreadLimit value of 64 threads, lowering ThreadsPerChild to 64. To increase, please see the ThreadLimit directive.
Even if I configure ThreadLimit and ThreadsPerChild correctly (setting same or setting ThreadLimit larger thant ThreadsPerChild):
<IfModule worker.c>
StartServers 4
MaxClients 400
:
ThreadLimit 100
ThreadsPerChild 100
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
