Also can I use both prefork and worker or I've to use just one? How do I know which one is in use. Thanks in advance. –  Simon Hanks Nov 6 '13 at 17:04
The configuration depends a lot on what you're doing. Generally, you should leave the defaults alone unless you have a specific reason to change them. As to the MPM choice, see here. –  Shane Madden Nov 6 '13 at 20:32
