[users@httpd] Apache & PHP configure options
I have installed both apache2 and php5 using the source code. everything
works great.
my question how would I know that the options I selected to configure both
apache & php with are the most common/optimum/best setup - I have read the
docs on apache.org and php.net still I think you need to be a
software/programmer to know or understand if you need to include an
options/switch in your ./configure line.
*
My PHP configuration: *
'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql'
'--prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php' '--with-jpeg' '--with-gd' '--with-zlib'
'--with-gettext' '--with-gdbm'
*
My apache configuration:*
core mod_authn_file mod_authn_default mod_authz_host mod_authz_groupfile
mod_authz_user mod_authz_default mod_auth_basic mod_include mod_filter
mod_deflate mod_log_config mod_env mod_mime_magic mod_usertrack mod_setenvif
mod_ssl prefork http_core mod_mime mod_status mod_autoindex mod_asis
mod_info mod_cgi mod_negotiation mod_dir mod_actions mod_speling mod_userdir
mod_alias mod_rewrite mod_so mod_php5
Thanks in advance

It is. The problem is that you asked for "most common/optimum/best setup"
"optimum" for what? "best" for what?
Too vauge, what you would configure to do mass vhosting is nothing like
what you would configure for an occasionally used control panel. What
you would do for security of a handful of non-intrusive formatting php
scripts is nothing like the security holes you would leave open to try
to deploy a poorly written php application just to permit it to run.
So Mark wasn't being snide, decide what you want to accomplish, then
ask here (and/or on php's user lists) what folks recommend for your
scenario/platform/applications.

There is no need to apologize, but you should read Mark's answer
again. It is really a good guide.
Your question was a little like asking "I'm starting up a business and
I'd like to know how to make sure it is profitable." Sure, there are
lots of people who could give you lots of different answers
(especially if you are willing to pay). But if you want good answers,
you need to start by better defining what you are trying to
accomplish.
The need for specific questions is especially high on a technical
mailing list. If you really just want to read about best-practices
for apache in general, either check the archives, or buy a book.

I am sorry if i wasted your time with my question. I do apologize however i
thought mailing lists are for people to exchange their experiences/
suggestions/thoughts/ways they done things, as well as you mentioned "
specific configuration problems ", so people like myself who are
interested in apache, linux, php and all the other great open source
products could become one day experts or more knowledgeable because of
mailing lists like this one.
again I do apologize

RE: [users@httpd] Apache & PHP configure options

If everything works "great," then you have to specifically define "best."
You are asking an abstract question, so I'll propose an abstract answer.
- define your specific goal(s)
- measure your current performance (benchmarks)
- research configuration changes
- document and perform changes so you can revert if necessary
- measure changes and analyze results
- repeat every step until you archive your goal(s)
This mailing list is where you can ask for help if you are stumped with
specific configuration changes.
I hope this helps,
