While I can most definitely sympathize with anyone who will have to reconfigure servers that were set up years ago, the reality of the matter is that mod_php is still being used because there's a ton of guides out there blindly copying over instructions and configuration snippets for years. The complexity of the stack is such that people are still oblivious of php-fpm nearly a decade after its introduction. Security issues aside, a medium-size web server using mod_php will require roughly 100 times the memory used for the same number of threads with php-fpm. This is a complete waste of resources. The only real-world application where it makes sense to prefer mod_php over php-fpm is a server dedicated to serving only php - no CSS, images, HTML or anything else. I'd argue this use case is quite rare nowadays. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
