[Typo3-linux] apache 2 worker og prefork, fastcgi/cgi and php accelerator?

[Thorsten Kahler]

Hi Lars,

we're using Apache 2 with prefork MPM and mod_php, often with Zend or
eaccelerator (not together ;-) ) and had no problems with these setups.

AFAIK worker is not stable with mod_php, but personally I have no experience
using cgi or fastcgi. It might work with worker MPM.

Any other experiences?

Regards
Thorsten
