Plesk php + MPM support

[JarekG]

Hi,

Is there any way to run PHP with MPM support. I need to use worker multi thread in apache but it doesn't want to start because PHP is without MPM support.

Any ideas ?

last time I checked (which wasnt recently) they hadnt updated that patch for 5.2.9, I did have MPM in the 5.2.8 PHP rpms. You could always try running those

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Do those RPM's are supported by Parallels ? Because on test server I've tried to compile from scratch php 5.2.9 and some functions from PEAR basicaly stopped working because I had no sources to compile these modules. When I've downloaded those soures PHP compilation just crashed on one of those modules.

Ahh.. and unfortunately I can't change PHP version from 4 to 5.

There are a lot of ways to build PHP, and as you've noticed, not all of them are the right way

My company Atomicorp supports those PHP packages, if you have a problem with them please let me know here or through support@atomicorp.com and we will get it fixed.

Off the top of my head, stick with a modular design, *especially* if you use a lot of pecl classes. Static builds will at best require restarts, and at worst will prevent them from working at all. Don't do source builds, stick with rpm based ones. Keep your build environment clean (I recommend using mock, but a dedicated build system would work too). Make a test suite if you can for common functions, its easy to make subtle mistakes.
