Yes. I am using worker MPM. >> I am observing sometimes child process are reaching 30 to 32. >> > Processes or threads? Are you sure that you are checking them correctly? I am talking about child process not threads. I know based on requests child process creates. But my doubt is as per the default ServerLimit value I should have 16 child process. Looks my understanding is incorrect. >> I was in an impression the child process can create only 16 as per above >> default ServerLimit value.

I am getting MaxClients setting reached in error logs when I restart Apache instance. My question is...that message will only be generated once per server lifetime?
