I'd like to statically statically compile the PHP module into Apache, hoping this might speed up my web server. I have something like this: For Apache: ./configure \ --enable-so \ --enable-mods-static="list_of_static_modules" \ --enable-mods-shared="list_of_dso_modules" \ --with-module="/link/to/libphp5.so" \ --enable-static-support For PHP: ./configure \ --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \ --with-mysql The problem being that I obviously can't compile PHP with the Apache directive because Apache hasn't yet been compiled; and I can't compile Apache with the PHP module as PHP hasn't yet been compiled. Any idea on how to resolve ?
Afaik it is not possible to do it that way as you need the DSO of php. But the other question is what you mean by "speed up". mod_php is the fasted way to implement php into apache, as it is loaded on apache's startup and not each time a script is called, e.g. in cgi mode. so how will you measure the "speed up" result in the end? If you think you have a bottleneck anywhere, how did you detect it?
