Apache worker / PHP issue

Hello,

I am using Ubuntu 8.04.

I have installed apache2 using apt-get, this installs the mpm-worker mode.
However when i try to install php5 using apt-get, it removes the
mpm-worker and installs prefork.

I need to keep the worker mode intact......please suggest.

Your distro is wisely preventing you from using that combination.

If you know better, build your own.

Hi.
What the Debian packager (through the apt-get program) and Eric are
telling you, is that the PHP5 package removes mpm-worker and replaces it
by mpm-prefork for a good reason.
The good reason is probably that mpm-worker is a threaded version of
Apache, and PHP5 has something that does not work in a threaded version
of Apache, so they are not compatible.

What Eric is further telling you, is that you can decide to live
dangerously, and still force PHP5 to run under a threaded version of
Apache. But the way to do that, would be to build your own threaded
version of Apache from the Apache source.

That's correct. To correctly run PHP5 in a threaded Apache, don't use
mod_php5 - use FastCGI. That'll give you all of the benefits of worker
without bombing out on non-threadsafe PHP calls (or if you're POSITIVE
that you don't need threadsafe PHP5 extensions, you can use mod_php5 -
AFAIK the php5 core IS threadsafe and I know of several folks using this
in production)
