Apache Modules

[portalgod]

This is more a comment than a question. Apache comes stock on your Webmin VPSs loading like every module and their mother. On some of the lower end packages (ones with less than 512MB RAM), just loading a second instance of the server to handle a simultaenous request results in the VPS hitting it's upper memory limit.

Why not pare down the list of pre-loaded modules to the bare minimum and let the user select which modules to load?

I guess it's just as easy for the VPS admin to go de-select the modules (as I have done), but it's just a comment.

Hi,

Recompile apache on all server with following options. This will
decrease load and increase performance.

-------
apache 2 or 2.2
modules : cache, deflate, disk cache, file cache, memcache, headers,
expire
-------

Add following settings to httpd.conf

------------------
Timeout 150
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 3
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 15
StartServers 5
MaxClients 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 600

<IfModule mod_mem_cache.c>
CacheEnable mem /
MCacheSize 4096
MCacheMaxObjectCount 100
MCacheMinObjectSize 1
MCacheMaxObjectSize 2048
</IfModule>
