Splitted from www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394
Your explanation leaves me behind - for instance, " it has been proved best to install PHP over mod_fcgid[/b}", "FIND the extension_dir directive and change so that it properly locates the EXT folder", "edit the Apache CONF file (httpd.conf) with make sure you load mod fcgid".
Given the extent of the confusion I would have thought it would have been worth while to clarify your explanation so that even people without much experience - like me - can understand. |

On my current dev server (Windows 8.1, Apache 2.4.7-64 from the Lounge, PHP 5.5.8-32) the setup is with the mod_fcgid and so far there have been no issues. I even added Strawberry Perl 5.18.2.1 last night with no problems.
However, I was wondering what, if any, advantages are had with using the mod_fcgid configuration over the module format? |

The advantage is simply that when PHP crashes it won't take down apache. Also the memory usage of the httpd process is much smaller.
I personally like it if a single PHP request blows up the CPU I can easily kill one instance of php-cgi.exe in the taskmanager. |
