Cloudlinux, EA4 and PHP Handlers. Impossible Triangle?

luigidelgado
Hello everyone. I"ve been working with cPanel servers for around 7 years. EA4 came with some advantages and some disadvantages when trying to add Cloudlinux. Seems to me (please correct me if I am wrong) there is no winner combination here I can have. [LIST]
  • EA4 Default cPanel configuration will install the should run with suPHP suEXEC or ITK would it come with CGI as the default handler??
  • Cloudlinux won't control memory usage if using Ruid2 or ITK. Incompatible also with DSO.
  • Cloudlinux has this But there is only one fully compatible option: suPHP. CGI is a no go for security reasons and

      Hello, Have you looked into using mod_lsapi with CloudLinux? It's documented at: CloudLinux Documentation Here's the initial blog post from CloudLinux when this module was released that goes into some detail about the security of existing PHP handlers: Beta: mod_lsapi - supercharge your Apache PHP hosting Thank you.

      mod_lsapi looks a great option once I move into Cloudlinux as I see it is only available for Cloudlinux customers, right?

      Michael, So now I am in Cloudlinux. I found LSAPI in the profiles in EasyApache 4.... so I ran one of those Profiles (the Default cPanel one) added some modules I needed including OpCache... But I am back to see the PHP handler to be CGI. Looks like I lost suEXEC and FCGI... How does LSAPI work if it says its a "direct replacement to suPHP and FCGI"? Cant get that. Also, how can I tell if LSAPI is working or not? Should I still install FCGI to avoid CGI? Its a bit confusing...

      Hello, CloudLinux documents this module at: CloudLinux Documentation This thread in-particular should answer your questions: lsapi - installation Thank you.

      You can upload a phpinfo file in the document root and call it via web browser and check the Server API section in phpinfo. It should show lsapi if using mod_lsapi . it will show CGI for cgi and SuPHP etc.
