Re: Subsystem and Apache Setup for Zend Server 6

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you move QHTTPSVR subsystem and it's jobs into a shared memory pool, 
make sure to move the ZendSvr subsystem into that same memory. The Zend 
server uses memory in very specific ways that make the two sets of jobs 
need to run in the same memory.

I think that is a very good thing to do, but they have to go together.

As far as the shared pools vs. fixed memory pool, stay with a shared 
pools and set the paging option to *CALC. Threads will be about 200 to 
start depending on how many Apache servers are running.
