Pre Main Include or Post VirtualHost Include ?

[SecondSight]

Hello !

I need to make modifications to httpd.conf. So, I write the changes in the Post VirtualHost Include :

ServerLimit 500
MaxClients 500
MaxRequestsPerChild 20000
MaxKeepAliveRequests 50
KeepAliveTimeout 1
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 15

But when I read topics in this forum, I see people write changes in Pre Main Include ?

Which one should I choose then if :
- I don't want to modify httpd.conf
- and I want the changes to be kept when there is an update.

Thank you !

Try adding those here instead:

WHM >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Global Configuration

Hello !

I can't do it in Global configuration because you don't find all the settings there.

I'd suggest using the Global Configuration screen in the WHM mentioned by Infopro first to set all of the settings you need, as most of what you listed is available there. Then for the few others that aren't, I would drop them in the /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_virtualhost_global.conf include. If you use pre_main, they'll be overwritten by the values cPanel defines in the main httpd.conf.

Hello !

Ok. But then, why not use Post VirtualHost Include ?

Thank you !

I suppose there's no reason to *not* use it, just that you're not overwriting any virtualhost settings so there isn't an actual need to use the post_ instead of pre_.

What about drop these settings in the /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_virtualhost_global.conf include.

<IfModule prefork.c>
ServerLimit 10000
StartServers 16
MinSpareServers 16
MaxSpareServers 64
MaxClients 10000
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>

Does It Work?
