run both fastcgi & mod_php ?

[lkbryant]

is it possible to run both fastcgi as well as mod_php at the same time? im guessing fastcgi can be used by just setup his .htaccess file to have the user a choice whether which to use?

 

[lkbryant]

any solutions?

Yes, you can If you want to have PHP4 as fcgi and PHP5 as mod_php - set php4_cgi to yes, and php5_cli to yes in the options.conf file. Read CustomBuild FAQ (http://directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19221) for more information.

what about php 5 for cgi and cli?

 

[smtalk]

It's not possible at the moment.

 

[lkbryant]

can you perform some quick benchmarks on the speed difference of:
php 5 fcgi and mod_php5 on something like phpBB?

i dont know why but it seems to me mod_php5 is always faster, even substantially faster.

shouldnt fcgi be faster than mod php 5?
