I did push a rebuild PHP into [staging]. I had to add a hack to keep the non-ZTS build that can only be used with the prefork MPM. For some reason PHP devs thought it would be a good idea to base a PHP compile time option on the stat of an Apache runtime config. Some day we might just drop mod_php; I cant think of any sane usage of this SAPI. Am I correct that Apache can now use FastCGI without third-party modules?
Anyway, I suggest in the end we should post an announcement on the front page. IMHO that install message is not really needed then, but that might be debatable.
FastCGI is possible with mod_proxy_fcgid and mod_fcgid, but this has some side-effects: - mod_fcgid can't connect to php-fpm - mod_proxy_fcgid doesn't pass DOCUMENT_ROOT to php-fpm, so you would have to setup weird rules or multiple php-fpm pools for every vhost Since mod_fastcgi still works with some patching there's not a big issue at this moment. I don't see real need for mod_php either, when I initially tested Apache 2.4 it was giving weird issues. I replaced the mod_php setups with mod_fastcgi + php-fpm a while ago. Though fastcgi adds some extra overhead, the event MPM brings much more advantages that makes it worth switching. IMHO mod_php with ZTS is not a good alternative, it adds additional overhead and you're still not sure that 3rd party libraries won't screw thread safety.
