You cannot expect someone else's precompiled binaries to precisely match your particular circumstances, so you're choosing to give that up in favor of convenience, but that is a reasonable decision if the value of configuring the webserver well for the site is less than the value of a few hours of your (or someone's) time. > I'm also aware that php5 or actually apache22 doesn't come with > mod_php as well, and as alternative I'm willing to go spawn-fcgi route > instead, and this is what I'm interested in.

With respect, I can recall when Brian Behlendorf and Andrew Wilson and some other folks started collecting a bunch of patches to the NCSA webserver, which became known as Apache-0.60 back around 1994, and later was publicly released in 1995 as Apache-0.70 or so. Well, there are other folks who deal with webservers at sites for which the cost of downtime is measured in the millions of dollars per hour from whom you can seek advice.... Regards, -- -Chuck
