Should I be using suPHP then instead of the formentioned suexec/mod_fcgid ?

*fast* cgi , which as the name implies, is erm, fast ;)
See, only apache has PHP as a module.
Other web servers such as nginx or lighttpd use a fastcgi process.
This has several advantages:
- you'll no longer see apache exit with (quote) a "signal 11, core
dumped" because of lousy php code / errors.
- you can use different php config files for different vhosts
- php fcgi is faster
- you can use process accounting to check the processing time consumed
individually by your web server , and your PHP processes
- you will slightly reduce the size of your apache processes, since
they'll no longer load mod_php

I incorrect in these assumptions? What are the benefits of running PHP
as a CGI(if you don't mind me asking) ?

Subject: Apache 2.2 + PHP5 + SuExec + (fast-cgi or mod_fcgid)
Hello Everyone,
I am researching how to run PHP as CGI with Apache's Suexec module. Up
to
this point we have been using PHP as an Apache mod, but are looking to
move
to the more secure solution.
I am not sure this is exactly the right list top post to so if anyone
knows
a better one please let me know :-)
I am using FreeBSD (8) as the OS, Apache 2.2, PHP5 with several
extensions
installed.
What I am looking for is to have PHP run as a CGI wrapped with suexec,
and
to have the fastcgi module, or, mod_fcgid. I have never set this up
before
so if anyone knows of a usefull 'how-to' that would be great. I have
been
reading through
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-apache22-fastcgi-php-configuration/
and
it seems to have some good hints.
Of course, once we get this all figured out, I will post a complete step
by
set here.
TIA,
-Grant
