What I do is running PHP in FastCGI mode (with something like x-cache)
with a dedicated user for each webapp for which I have a dedicated
script, for example :
=========
jcigar@bccm-it ~ % ls -l /usr/local/www/apache22/cgi-bin
(...)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-scar www-scar 202 Oct 27 2008
scar-php-wrapper.fcgi*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-lwatch www-lwatch 202 Apr 24 12:05
sfa-php-wrapper.fcgi*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-tapir www-tapir 202 Oct 27 2008
tapir-php-wrapper.fcgi*
(...)
=========
each .fcgi contain something like :
=========
jcigar@bccm-it ~ %
cat /usr/local/www/apache22/cgi-bin/scar-php-wrapper.fcgi
#!/bin/sh
#PHPRC="/path/to/php.ini"
#export PHPRC
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=3
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=10000
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS
exec /usr/local/bin/php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:5009
=========
you can control how much children have to be fork(), the number of
maximum requests per process before it gets killed and re-launched
(usefull if a webapp leaks memory), etc
Then in your Apache config you put something like :
=========
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/local/www/apache22/cgi-bin/scar-php-wrapper.fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:5009 -idle-timeout 1800
<Location /cgi-bin/scar-php-wrapper.fcgi>
SetHandler fastcgi-script
</Location>
<Directory /usr/local/www/apache22/data/scarmarbin>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler php-fastcgi .php
Action php-fastcgi /cgi-bin/scar-php-wrapper.fcgi
</Directory>
=========
hope it helps,
best regards,
Julien
