[Bug 1658048] [NEW] The generated apache configuration does not spawn enough processes and this can lead to a stalling server (potential DoS)

 

Public bug reported:

When creating the apache configuration with:

 python manage.py make_web_conf --apache

The apache configuration file does not specify the number of apache processes.
By default apache will spawn only one. not only is it a performance issue, but it can lead to Denial of Service if the apache process is to long to respond or stalled.
