(I am already aware of worker and event and how they differ from prefork, this is a prefork only question)
First question:
What is meant by "request" on this page?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/prefork.html
"Apache httpd always tries to maintain several spare or idle server processes, which stand ready to serve incoming requests."
incoming HTTP requests?
incoming TCP connections?
Second question:
Does it mean that if I open a website that contains 5 images in it, 5 Apache processes are required and therefore 5 PHP images (assuming mod_php is on)?
Thanks
