Thanks Falzo, I always appreciate your detailed and informative responses. Thank you!
And yes, the file eris quoted is correct. The issue was, I didn’t know that MaxClients is the same value as MaxRequestWorkers (very confusing for Apache to reference both and introduce a new variable). But anyway, I hope this post helps someone like me that stumbles upon it. So that’s fine.
However, I understand that it’s not HESTIACP and that it’s how apache loads the config files, but what I’m still not clear on, is what vars are actually being loaded. Is the apache2buddy script CORRECTLY telling me which values are loaded or is it just looking at the file I mentioned (/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mpm_event.conf) and getting the values from there.
I still don’t know with any level of certainty, which vars are being loaded and active in Apache, as I don’t know if the mpm_event.conf is overriding the apache.conf that Eris mentioned or the apache.conf is overriding the values. How can I confirm this? Is there a way to check which vars are actually loaded by apache? That’s what I’m kind of looking for here. So that I can confirm with certainty which file is being loaded or overriding the other value.
Your expertise and others would be appreciated here. Is there a command I can run with apache to tell me which vars are loaded?
Thanks!
