Which MPM should I choose?

Question

Which MPM should I choose?

Answer

The default EasyApache profile uses the prefork MPM. However, you may choose to use event or worker. You should use event if your applications require threads and allow for safe thread-polling. You should use worker if your applications require threads but do not allow for safe thread-polling. If your applications do not require threads and do not allow for safe thread-polling, you should use prefork.
