Hello
I'm running Apache/2.2.15 on 1.680/4.07.gpl on the old server and the new server. Both servers are on CentOS 6.5, but they do run different kernels. AFAIK, that's the only difference between them.
I installed Virtualmin on the new machine then I copied over the this section from the old server to the new one.
# prefork MPM
# StartServers: number of server processes to start
# MinSpareServers: minimum number of server processes which are kept spare
# MaxSpareServers: maximum number of server processes which are kept spare
# ServerLimit: maximum value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the server
# MaxClients: maximum number of server processes allowed to start
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
# ORIGINAL
# <IfModule prefork.c>
# StartServers 8
# MinSpareServers 5
# MaxSpareServers 20
# ServerLimit 256
# MaxClients 256
# MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
# </IfModule>
# IN USE
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 2
MinSpareServers 2
MaxSpareServers 5
ServerLimit 120
MaxClients 120
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
</IfModule>
# worker MPM
# StartServers: initial number of server processes to start
# MaxClients: maximum number of simultaneous client connections
# MinSpareThreads: minimum number of worker threads which are kept spare
# MaxSpareThreads: maximum number of worker threads which are kept spare
# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in each server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
# NOT IN USE
<IfModule worker.c>
StartServers 4
MaxClients 300
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 75
ThreadsPerChild 25
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
BUT the new server shows this config: http://i.imgur.com/hxxWfk7.png the old server shows this config: http://i.imgur.com/fZm7iKx.png
Why the difference in options from one Apache to the other?
Howdy,
Well, the options being set appear to be the same, they're just in a different order.
I'm not sure why they're in a different order, but that shouldn't be a problem of any sort.
I also see that there's one additional option available on your new server -- that may be due to an Apache module that's enabled on your new server but not your old one.

The only module the old server has that the new one doesn't is the Cloudflare module. The new one has a lot more modules, since I had disabled some to save memory. If you would like to take a look at the diff here it is (unique values to either column are highlighted): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8M2G_l-f_g6eGszVUU3SG1UUFE/edit?usp=sh...
Thanks Eric!
Howdy,
The new server is the one that has the extra option, correct? The one labeled "Display extended status information"?
I suspect the additional option is related to one of those additional modules that's enabled, perhaps mod_status.
