Dear All,

I have configure nginx at my server and I follow documentation on  
[wiki.nginx.org](http://wiki.nginx.org). In wiki I read that master\_process should be off  
for production, I setup nginx worker is 10 , but when run nginx with  
master\_process off, I just get 1 proccess , Is it normal? but when  
turn on master\_proccess , I see many proccess run. My server use  
multicore procesor,  
can nginx balance the resource when master\_process off ?

Thanks,

## Rizki

Did you read the wiki carefully? The default value is “on”…

“master\_process off” should never be used in production…
