php selector and mod_fcgid and mod_lsapi per account?

[oceanwave]

Can I install both mod_fcgid and mod_lsapi with easyapache 4 and then use php selector or another means to select whether an account uses mod_fcgid or mod_lsapi as the php handler?
Or would this be inadvisable?
I'm interested in evaluating a switch from mod_fcgid to mod_lsapi and wondering if I need to
1.) switch the server with easyapache from one to the other like I did when I changed from su_php to fcgid, or if there is a way to
2.) switch individual account(s) over and observe before changing all accounts over

You can install both mod_fcgid and mod_lsapi with EasyApache 4, however, PHP handlers are typically configured globally for each PHP version within WHM MultiPHP Manager.

This means if you set PHP 8.4 to use fcgi in WHM, all accounts using PHP 8.4 will utilize the fcgi handler. The PHP handlers are per PHP version, not per account.

However, most likely you utilize both ea-php84 and alt-php84 and you can select different handlers for them:


And then select eitner ea-php84 or alt-php84 in WHM > MultiPHP Manager > User Domain Settings tab, the dropdown list. You should give it a try.

Awesome. Thanks.

Any issue if I use Cloudlinux PHP Selector instead of MultiPHP Manager to set the PHP version per account for the last step?

(Can I set MultiPHP Manager alt-php 7.4 -> lsapi, ea-php 8.3 -> cgi, and then use Cloudlinux PHP Selector to select alt-php 7.4 for an individual account to run mod_lsapi alt-php 7.4?)

There is no way to select ea-php from PHP Selector in user panel, it will work only for alt-php versions. What should work is to set alt-php 7.4 -> lsapi then alt-php 8.3 -> cgi.

Under the WHM MultiPHP Manager for each php version I'm only seeing the following three options:
cgi
lsapi
none

cgi is selected by default for each php version.

However, whether I select cgi or lsapi for an alt-php version, php.info shows:
Server API CGI/FastCGI

I have the following apache modules installed under easyapache 4:

Apache 2.4
config
config-runtime
mod_bwlimited
mod_cgid
mod_deflate
mod_expires
mod_headers
mod_hostinglimits
mod_http2
mod_lsapi
mod_mpm_event
mod_proxy
mod_proxy_fcgi
mod_proxy_http
mod_proxy_wstunnel
mod_remoteip
mod_security2
mod_ssl
mod_suexec
mod_unique_id
mod_version
tools

What step have I missed?

I selected the alt-php version using the cloudlinux php selector in the user account's cpanel.
Under Multi-PHP Manager I do not have PHP-FPM installed and under user domain setting all accounts show inherit (the ea-php83)
I've been using the cloudlinux php selector to select the alt php version, modules, and settings from within the individual cpanel account for years, so I have not used the WHM MultiPHP Manager much.

Well, I see the mod_lsapi as a module, but do you have the liblsapi package? Do you have a green light in WHM > CloudLinux Manager home dashboard?
