Thread: What is MPM in apache

MPM Stands for Multi-Processing Module

In Apache one MPM is used at any time. It allows apache to fulfill requests of clients

Following are some default MPM's for different OS's
This will be the MPM selected if you do not make another choice at compile-time.
BeOSbeos Netwarempm_netware OS/2mpmt_os2 Unixprefork Windowsmpm_winnt
You can also change your MPM while compiling apache to fit apache to your needs.

MPM Worker is normally used to increase performance of sites because it uses threaded approach to fulfill requests.

To actually choose the desired MPM, use the argument --with-mpm=NAME with the configure script. NAME is the name of the desired MPM.
