This is a common question maybe the php website should eleborate on the reasoning for not saying mod_php is not stablge on apach2. The reason as far as I know is because of thread safety. Apache 2 can be compiled with different multi processing modules (MPM). The default with gentoo is prefork which is default on gentoo. The other one worker and perchild involve threads. Not all libraries that link with php are thread safe therefore it would not be safe to use a thread based apache build with calls to libraries in php that are not thread safe. Php itself can be compiled thread safe ? Anyone with more knowledge like to eleborate on this topic ? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
