+ The <option>MaxRequestsPerChild</option> directive allows you to specify the maximum number of request a child process can serve before it dies. It takes the following form:
+ </para>
+ <screen>MaxRequestsPerChild <replaceable>number</replaceable></screen>
+ <para>
+ Setting the <replaceable>number</replaceable> to <literal>0</literal> allows unlimited number of requests.
+ </para>

+ The <option>MaxRequestsPerChild</option> directive is used to prevent long-lived processes from causing memory leaks.

- <command>MaxRequestsPerChild</command> sets the total number of requests each child server process serves before the child dies. The main reason for setting <command>MaxRequestsPerChild</command> is to avoid long-lived process induced memory leaks. The default <command>MaxRequestsPerChild</command> for the <command>prefork</command> MPM is <command>4000</command> and for the <command>worker</command> MPM is <command>0</command>.
