This is somewhat safer for the use of mod_php, +but can still carry some security risks (all your php scripts run as the +user configured to run apache2). This is mitigated by default, as +apache2 runs as user apache2 and group apache2, which do not exist on +default Slackware installations and should have minimal privilages. + +For enhanced multi-threaded performance, use "apache worker", but using +mod_php with "worker" is considered dangerous. PHP Core is multi-thread +safe, but many PHP extensions are *NOT*. To build apache2 with the +worker MPM, just run the script like so: + + # MPM_FLAVOR=worker; ./apache2.SlackBuild + +Please note that this script does not build apache2 with SuEXEC support. +If you need this functionality, please read the following documentation +and make the necessary changes to the ./configure options in the script. + + http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/suexec.html + |
