No I didn't, I just feel that fastcgi/suexec/mod_suphp doesn't handle all of the ready to run programs out there completely. Besides that, the whole point of PHP was that it was made to be part of Apache originally, so why not just have us all write Perl scripts? See, my problems with PHP setups come down to this: A. I could run PHP without safe mode and only have open base dir on and be wide open for breaches. B. I could run mod_suphp/suexec/fastcgi for everyone and then certain programs would not run right. Performance would take a bit of a hit. People would say "Why are you running it like that, you're dumb, etc." My impression of this scenario is based on a few years old information, testing and perhaps not enough research so maybe I should look into this method again. C. I could use the metux MPM, but then I couldn't do SSL, which means no ecommerce sites. D. I could run things the way I have it now, but that won't last because PHP 6 is on the way. E. I could run Apache chroot and have 50 instances of Apache running on a server. Performance would no doubt take a hit, even with lots of CPUs and RAM. I have also planned for about 200 users per server so I'd be losing a lot that way. Complexity would go way up as well as management time and I'd have to deal with users messing up their chroot environments. F. Try to get the mpm-itx setup working, but that's an unknown right now. I should have taken that sign more to heart that I read one time: "Formula for failure: Try to please everybody". Mark -- Mark S.
