Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 33
- Last updated: 2020-05-28
- Tracker bug: N/A
- Release notes tracker: N/A
Detailed Description
By default php-fpm is used for a few versions. mod_php is not supported for threaded modules. mod_php usage also increases security risk, sharing the same process than httpd.
Drop mod_php from php build. This will only affect user of httpd in "prefork" mode, which will also use php-fpm.
php-fpm is already used but most users of httpd and nginx without any issue.
The "php" package will be kept as a metapackage, installing (weak dependencies) most commonly used extension, thus reducing the difference between "yum install php" (flat repository) and "yum module install php" (modular repository).
Benefit to Fedora
Only provide the modern way to execute PHP in a web server.
