| Posted by TechniSmart, 09-09-2013, 05:27 PM | | I was adding a few PHP extensions to Apache 2.2.25 on cPanel, but EasyApache compile list offers Apache 2.4.6 without any mention that it is STABLE. Is it still experimental? Anyone using it? If so, what are the improvements?
Is anyone using PHP 5.4 yet? Any improvements?
Thanks.

| Posted by rowebca, 09-09-2013, 07:52 PM | | I am using PHP 5.4.19, and Apache 2.4.6 (is it faster) without any problems, in production for some servers.
Regards

| Posted by Julien@Hostabulous, 09-09-2013, 08:03 PM | | Yup, running Apache 2.4.6 and PHP 5.4.19 too, everything works perfectly on our production servers.
Apache 2.4 really takes less resources which is good.

| Posted by TechniSmart, 09-10-2013, 01:14 PM | | Thanks for for replies. The upgrade to PHP 5.4.19 and Apache 2.4.6 went smoothly and it upped the security score in CSF by a few more points.
I can attest it is faster running TYPO3, MODX and Joomla sites.
Cheers!

| Posted by TechniSmart, 09-10-2013, 05:23 PM | | I agree Apache 2.4.6 uses less resources. Suhosin runs fine on it but is not compatible with PHP 5.4.
Decided to downgrade PHP to 5.3 so I can run Suhosin 0.9.10 again.
I am not happy using a deprecated release of PHP, so I would appreciate ideas how to harden when we are eventually forced to PHP 5.4 or even 5.5?

| Posted by Atlanical-Mike, 09-10-2013, 05:34 PM | | Apache version
2.2.25
PHP version
5.4.19
But the PHP version can be changed at any time with the Cloudlinux PHP Selector.

| Posted by ZonedHost, 09-10-2013, 05:36 PM | | Suhosin isn't being coded for 5.4 as they have implemented the majority of what it does into this version, it simply closes bug's/exploits in 5.3 (Which are now closed thanks to the work of Suhosin in 5.4 builds).

| Posted by TechniSmart, 09-10-2013, 11:00 PM | | What you say makes good sense, but did you see this documented anywhere?
