<p>This controls the directory to which Apache httpd attempts to
switch before dumping core. If your operating system is configured to
create core files in the working directory of the crashing process,
<code class="directive">CoreDumpDirectory</code> is necessary to change working
directory from the default <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>
directory, which should not be writable by the user the server runs as.</p>
<p>If you want a core dump for debugging, you can use this directive to
place it in a different location. This directive has no effect if your
operating system is not configured to write core files to the working directory
of the crashing processes.</p>
<div class="warning">
<h3>Security note for Linux systems</h3>
<p>Using this directive on Linux may allow other processes on
the system (if running with similar privileges, such as CGI
scripts) to attach to httpd children via the <code>ptrace</code>
system call. This may make weaken the protection from certain
security attacks. It is not recommended to use this directive
on production systems.</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Core Dumps on Linux</h3>
<p>If Apache httpd starts as root and switches to another user, the
Linux kernel <em>disables</em> core dumps even if the directory is
writable for the process. Apache httpd (2.0.46 and later) reenables core dumps
on Linux 2.4 and beyond, but only if you explicitly configure a <code class="directive">CoreDumpDirectory</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="note">
<h3>Core Dumps on BSD</h3>
<p>To enable core-dumping of suid-executables on BSD-systems (such
as FreeBSD), set <code>kern.sugid_coredump</code> to 1.
</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Specific signals</h3>
<p><code class="directive">CoreDumpDirectory</code> processing only occurs for
a select set of fatal signals: SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGABORT,
SIGSEGV, and SIGBUS.</p>
<p>On some operating systems, SIGQUIT also results in a core dump but
does not go through <code class="directive">CoreDumpDirectory</code> or
<code class="directive">EnableExceptionHook</code> processing, so the core
location is dictated entirely by the operating system.</p>

<p>For safety reasons this directive is only available if the server was
configured with the <code>--enable-exception-hook</code> option. It
enables a hook that allows external modules to plug in and do something
after a child crashed.</p>
<p>There are already two modules, <code>mod_whatkilledus</code> and
<code>mod_backtrace</code> that make use of this hook. Please have a
look at Jeff Trawick's <a href="https://emptyhammock.com/projects/httpd/diag/">EnableExceptionHook site</a> for more information about these.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">Listen</code> directive instructs Apache httpd to
listen to only specific IP addresses or ports; by default it
responds to requests on all IP interfaces. <code class="directive">Listen</code>
is now a required directive. If it is not in the config file, the
server will fail to start. This is a change from previous versions
of Apache httpd.</p>
<p>The <code class="directive">Listen</code> directive tells the server to
accept incoming requests on the specified port or address-and-port
combination. If only a port number is specified, the server listens to
the given port on all interfaces. If an IP address is given as well
as a port, the server will listen on the given port and
interface.</p>
<p>Multiple <code class="directive">Listen</code> directives may be used to
specify a number of addresses and ports to listen to. The server will
respond to requests from any of the listed addresses and ports.</p>
<p>For example, to make the server accept connections on both
port 80 and port 8000, use:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 80
Listen 8000</pre>
<p>To make the server accept connections on two specified
interfaces and port numbers, use </p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 192.170.2.1:80
Listen 192.170.2.5:8000</pre>
<p>IPv6 addresses must be surrounded in square brackets, as in the
following example:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen [2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea]:80</pre>
<p>The optional <var>protocol</var> argument is not required for most
configurations. If not specified, <code>https</code> is the default for
port 443 and <code>http</code> the default for all other ports. The
protocol is used to determine which module should handle a request, and
to apply protocol specific optimizations with the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#acceptfilter">AcceptFilter</a></code> directive.</p>
<p>You only need to set the protocol if you are running on non-standard
ports. For example, running an <code>https</code> site on port 8443:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 192.170.2.1:8443 https</pre>
<div class="note"><h3>Error condition</h3>
Multiple <code class="directive">Listen</code> directives for the same ip
address and port will result in an <code>Address already in use</code>
error message.

<p>The maximum length of the queue of pending connections.
Generally no tuning is needed or desired; however on some
systems, it is desirable to increase this when under a TCP SYN
flood attack. See the backlog parameter to the
<code>listen(2)</code> system call.</p>
<p>This will often be limited to a smaller number by the
operating system. This varies from OS to OS. Also note that
many OSes do not use exactly what is specified as the backlog,
but use a number based on (but normally larger than) what is
set.</p>

<p>A <var>ratio</var> between the number of (online) CPU cores and the
number of listeners' buckets can be used to make Apache HTTP Server create
<code>num_cpu_cores / ratio</code> listening buckets, each containing its
own <code class="directive"><a href="#listen">Listen</a></code>-ing socket(s) on the same port(s), and
then make each child handle a single bucket (with round-robin distribution
of the buckets at children creation time).</p>
<div class="note"><h3>Meaning of "online" CPU core</h3>
<p>On Linux (and also BSD) a CPU core can be turned on/off if
<a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt">Hotplug</a>
is configured, therefore <code class="directive">ListenCoresBucketsRatio</code> needs to
take this parameter into account while calculating the number of buckets to create.</p>
</div>
<p><code class="directive">ListenCoresBucketsRatio</code> can improve the
scalability when accepting new connections is/becomes the bottleneck.
On systems with a large number of CPU cores, enabling this feature has
been tested to show significant performances improvement and shorter
responses time.</p>
<p>There must be at least twice the number of CPU cores than the
configured <var>ratio</var> for this to be active. The recommended
<var>ratio</var> is <code>8</code>, hence at least <code>16</code>
cores should be available at runtime when this value is used.
The right <var>ratio</var> to obtain maximum performance needs to be calculated
for each target system, testing multiple values and observing the variations in your
key performance metrics.</p>
<p>This directive influences the calculation of the
<code class="directive"><a href="#minsparethreads">MinSpareThreads</a></code> and
<code class="directive"><a href="#maxsparethreads">MaxSpareThreads</a></code> lower bound values.
The number of children processes needs to be a multiple of the number
of buckets to optimally accept connections.</p>
<div class="note">
<h3>Multiple <code class="directive">Listen</code>ers or Apache HTTP servers on
the same IP address and port</h3>
<p>Setting the <code>SO_REUSEPORT</code> option on the listening socket(s)
consequently allows multiple processes (sharing the same <code>EUID</code>,
e.g. <code>root</code>) to bind to the the same IP address and port,
without the binding error raised by the system in the usual case.</p>
<p>This also means that multiple instances of Apache httpd configured on a
same <code>IP:port</code> and with a positive <code class="directive">ListenCoresBucketsRatio</code>
would start without an error too, and then run with incoming connections
evenly distributed across both instances (this is NOT a recommendation or
a sensible usage in any case, but just a notice that it would prevent such
possible issues to be detected).</p>
<p>Within the same instance, Apache httpd will check and fail to start if
multiple <code class="directive">Listen</code> directives on the exact same IP (or
hostname) and port are configured, thus avoiding the creation of some
duplicated buckets which would be useless and kill performances. However
it can't (and won't try harder to) catch all the possible overlapping cases
(like a hostname resolving to an IP used elsewhere).</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">MaxRequestWorkers</code> directive sets the limit
on the number of simultaneous requests that will be served. Any
connection attempts over the <code class="directive">MaxRequestWorkers</code>
limit will normally be queued, up to a number based on the
<code class="directive"><a href="#listenbacklog">ListenBacklog</a></code>

request, the connection will then be serviced.</p>
<p>For non-threaded servers (<em>i.e.</em>, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/prefork.html">prefork</a></code>),
<code class="directive">MaxRequestWorkers</code> translates into the maximum
number of child processes that will be launched to serve requests.

<code class="directive"><a href="#serverlimit">ServerLimit</a></code>.</p>
<p>For threaded and hybrid servers (<em>e.g.</em> <code class="module"><a href="../mod/event.html">event</a></code>
or <code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code>), <code class="directive">MaxRequestWorkers</code> restricts
the total number of threads that will be available to serve clients.

<code>25</code> (<code class="directive"><a href="#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code>). Therefore, to increase <code class="directive">MaxRequestWorkers</code> to a value that requires more than 16 processes,

<p>Apache HTTP Server uses a scoreboard to communicate between its parent
and child processes. Some architectures require a file to facilitate
this communication. If the file is left unspecified, Apache httpd first
attempts to create the scoreboard entirely in memory (using anonymous
shared memory) and, failing that, will attempt to create the file on
disk (using file-based shared memory). Specifying this directive causes
Apache httpd to always create the file on the disk.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ScoreBoardFile /var/run/apache_runtime_status</pre>
</div>
<p>File-based shared memory is useful for third-party applications
that require direct access to the scoreboard.</p>
<p>If you use a <code class="directive">ScoreBoardFile</code>, then
you may see improved speed by placing it on a RAM disk. But be
careful that you heed the same warnings about log file placement
and <a href="../misc/security_tips.html">security</a>.</p>

<p>This directive sets the maximum configured value for <code class="directive"><a href="#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code> for the lifetime
of the Apache httpd process. Any attempts to change this directive
during a restart will be ignored, but <code class="directive"><a href="#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code> can be modified
during a restart up to the value of this directive.</p>
<p>Special care must be taken when using this directive. If
<code class="directive">ThreadLimit</code> is set to a value much higher
than <code class="directive"><a href="#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code>,
extra unused shared memory will be allocated. If both
<code class="directive">ThreadLimit</code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code> are set to values
higher than the system can handle, Apache httpd may not start or the
system may become unstable. Do not set the value of this directive
any higher than your greatest predicted setting of <code class="directive"><a href="#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code> for the
current run of Apache httpd.</p>
<p>The default value for <code class="directive">ThreadLimit</code> is
<code>1920</code> when used with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mpm_winnt.html">mpm_winnt</a></code> and
<code>64</code> when used with the others.</p>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
<p>There is a hard limit of <code>ThreadLimit 20000</code> (or

<code>ThreadLimit 15000</code> with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mpm_winnt.html">mpm_winnt</a></code>)
compiled into the server. This is intended to avoid nasty effects
caused by typos. To increase it even further past this limit, you
will need to modify the value of MAX_THREAD_LIMIT in the mpm

<p>This directive sets the number of threads created by each
child process. The child creates these threads at startup and
never creates more. If using an MPM like <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mpm_winnt.html">mpm_winnt</a></code>,
where there is only one child process, this number should be high
enough to handle the entire load of the server. If using an MPM
like <code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code>, where there are multiple child processes,
the <em>total</em> number of threads should be high enough to handle
the common load on the server.</p>
<p>The default value for <code class="directive">ThreadsPerChild</code> is
<code>64</code> when used with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mpm_winnt.html">mpm_winnt</a></code> and
<code>25</code> when used with the others.</p>
<p>The value of <code class="directive">ThreadsPerChild</code> can not exceed the
value of <code class="directive"><a href="#threadlimit">ThreadLimit</a></code>. If a
higher value is configured, it will be automatically reduced at start-up
and a warning will be logged. The relationship between these 2 directives
is explained in <code class="directive"><a href="#threadlimit">ThreadLimit</a></code>.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">ThreadStackSize</code> directive sets the
size of the stack (for autodata) of threads which handle client
connections and call modules to help process those connections.
In most cases the operating system default for stack size is
reasonable, but there are some conditions where it may need to be
adjusted:</p>
<ul>
<li>On platforms with a relatively small default thread stack size
(e.g., HP-UX), Apache httpd may crash when using some third-party modules
which use a relatively large amount of autodata storage. Those
same modules may have worked fine on other platforms where the
default thread stack size is larger. This type of crash is
resolved by setting <code class="directive">ThreadStackSize</code> to a
value higher than the operating system default. This type of
adjustment is necessary only if the provider of the third-party
module specifies that it is required, or if diagnosis of an Apache httpd
crash indicates that the thread stack size was too small.</li>
<li>On platforms where the default thread stack size is
significantly larger than necessary for the web server
configuration, a higher number of threads per child process
will be achievable if <code class="directive">ThreadStackSize</code> is
set to a value lower than the operating system default. This type
of adjustment should only be made in a test environment which allows
the full set of web server processing to be exercised, as there
may be infrequent requests which require more stack to process.
The minimum required stack size strongly depends on the modules
used, but any change in the web server configuration can invalidate
the current <code class="directive">ThreadStackSize</code> setting.</li>
<li>On Linux, this directive can only be used to increase the default
stack size, as the underlying system call uses the value as a
<em>minimum</em> stack size. The (often large) soft limit for
<code>ulimit -s</code> (8MB if unlimited) is used as the default stack
size.</li>
</ul>
<div class="note">It is recommended to not reduce <code class="directive">ThreadStackSize</code>
unless a high number of threads per child process is needed. On some
platforms (including Linux), a setting of 128000 is already too low and
causes crashes with some common modules.</div>
