ScoreBoardFile
Synopsis
ScoreBoardFile filename
Default: ScoreBoardFile logs/apache_status
Server config
The ScoreBoardFile
directive is required on some
architectures to place a file that the server will use to communicate
between its children and the parent. The easiest way to find out if
your architecture requires a scoreboard file is to run Apache and see
if it creates the file named by the directive. If your architecture
requires it, then you must ensure that this file is not used at the
same time by more than one invocation of Apache.
If you have to use a ScoreBoardFile
, then you may
see improved speed by placing it on a RAM disk. But be aware that
placing important files on a RAM disk involves a certain amount of
risk.
Apache 1.2 and above: Linux 1.x and SVR4 users might be able to add
-DHAVE_SHMGET
-DUSE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD
to the
EXTRA_CFLAGS
in your Config file. This might work
with some 1.x installations, but not with all of them. (Prior to
1.3b4, HAVE_SHMGET
would have sufficed.)
