There are tools and know-how out there on configuring various aspects of =

still believe the majority of the PHP community is using mod_php. Re: =

in the majority of environments. It=92s being used more on the big, =
scale-out properties than on the massive of smaller PHP deployments.

I guess we=92ll need to agree to disagree on this one :)
