The thread model is determined at compile time. At your system
prompt, you can issue: apache2 -l or, for a little clearer picture,
apache2 -V and the server MPM will be clearly stated in lines
7-9.....for example:
Server version: Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu)
Server built: Jun 25 2008 13:54:13
Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:11
Server loaded: APR 1.2.11, APR-Util 1.2.12
Compiled using: APR 1.2.11, APR-Util 1.2.12
Architecture: 32-bit
Server MPM: Prefork
threaded: no
forked: yes (variable process count)
Server compiled with....
-D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
-D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
-D APR_HAS_MMAP
-D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
-D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
-D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
-D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
-D DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=128
-D HTTPD_ROOT=""
-D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/lib/apache2/suexec"
