I would like to add a work-around for this issue, which was brought to
me by someone else (but I cant find the mail any more, so I cant give
credits).
In the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod-php5.postinst the
following code is used:
php5_enable() {
PHP_MODULE=$(a2query -m | sed -n 's/^\(php[\.0-9]*\)
(enabled.*)/\1/p')
if [ -n "$PHP_MODULE" -a "$PHP_MODULE" != "php5" ]; then
apache2_msg err "ERROR: $PHP_MODULE module already enabled,
not enabling php5"
return 1
fi
mpm=$(a2query -M)
case "$(a2query -M)" in
prefork|itk) return 0;;
*) if apache2_switch_mpm prefork; then return 0; fi;;
esac
apache2_msg err "Could not switch to prefork MPM, not enabling
php5"
return 1
}
This causes the script to return if a a module called php[0-9] is found.
If so, it does not change the MPM.
So, if we create /etc/apache2/mods-available/php0.conf and php0.load,
and enable this module using a2enmod, the postinst script no longer
changes the MPM.
