[...]Hi All,
I'm finally getting 'round to installing Apache 2 and wanted to install mod_perl while I was at it (since there is increasing interest in getting Bricolage running on mod_perl 2!). I've been using the worker MPM on Ask's advice, but looking at the docs, it appears that I either have to use prefork or recompile Perl with ithreads.
Since there is no recommendation one way or another in the docs, I was wondering if there is a preferred approach? It looks like that's the old Apache 1.x forking model...
So I guess I'm using prefork regardless. But anyway, I was looking for recommendations, since I'll build it on other platforms, and I seem to recall Stas saying that threads weren't working so well (or was that just on Windows)?
Threaded mpms work just fine when serving static pages. There are all kind of problems when Perl is involved. Some of the problems are getting resolved, others are still there. It's probably the best to develop with prefork, at least because debugging processes is possible, debugging threads is not always the case. Though you should check that your code works with threaded mpms as well. Your code shouldn't take advantage of prefork environment, so users who are stuck with threaded mpms can use it too.
