I'm running php-fastcgi once per domain, chrooted to its virtual host directory; I've also got non-PHP FastCGI applications running in unrelated chroots. One process (lighttpd) handles SSL and most logging (each PHP instance logs in its chroot, but that separates different users' PHP logs too). Maintenance is still a pain, though, as I have to copy all relevant binaries, PHP modules, and dependent shared libraries into each chroot every upgrade. I keep meaning to write a script to maintain that: copy new binaries (e.g., php-fastcgi) over, determine what shared objects they link to, copy those over, and delete old versions. -- Matthew Weigel hacker unique & idempot . ent
