[SOLVED] apache starts unwanted number of processes

Output from apachectl

$ sudo apachectl -l
Compiled in modules:
  core.c
  mod_so.c
  http_core.c

Meaning it will use prefork
In my httpd-mpm.conf

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers             1
    MinSpareServers          1
    MaxSpareServers          1
    MaxRequestWorkers        5
    MaxConnectionsPerChild   5
</IfModule>

Yet httpd start many more:

$ pstree
systemd─┬─agetty
...
        ├─httpd───3*[httpd───26*[{httpd}]]
...

The system has limited resources and is not a web server. I only need it for occasional munin consultation and perhaps owncload.

Re: [SOLVED] apache starts unwanted number of processes

Ok, I decided I don't need apache for this. I'm now on lighttpd which does everything I need, except php interpreting.
