Re: OWAS 4.0 start over hundred of processes

After installation, did you create an Application with cartridge(s)? If so, what value did you give to the number of server instances? What values did you use for min/max instances and threads in the cartridge(s)? You've read the docs so you obviously know that creating a min greater than 0 for host servers will instantiate a cartridge server at startup (rather than first request) _and_ give you the min number of instances for your cartridge(s) within that application, but that's all I can think of off-hand!

HTH, Bill
