check if Apache uses worker MPM or prefork MPM
apachectl -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c
It is "prefork.c" so in httpd.conf these settings are what you would use (if you use worker.c it won't have any impact):
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 2
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
ServerLimit 300
MaxClients 300
#MaxRequestsPerChild 0
MaxRequestsPerChild 100
</IfModule>
