Package: apache2 Version: 2.2.17-3 From /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.multiple-instances:
| MPMs | ==== | | You can use different MPMs for different instances by setting | APACHE_HTTPD to one of /usr/lib/apache2/mpm-*/apache2. Note that | some modules like mod_php only work with the non-threaded MPMs | (prefork, itk). Along with the magic in /etc/init.d/apache2, /usr/sbin/apache2ctl and the other scripts that recognize -$favour suffixes, this works like a charm to run multiple instances in parallel. Unfortunately, the Debian packaging prevents the co-installation of multiple Provides/Conflicts: apache2-mpm fields. The only file that is actually conflicting is /usr/sbin/apache2 - this could easily be taken care of by making it an "alternative". It is already a symlink, it would just be managed by update-alternatives instead of being shipped in some package. (Maybe with a raised priority for the "default" MPM.) I would be willing to write a patch for this if the maintainers don't think there would be an objection to enabling multiple instances with different MPMs. Thanks for considering, Christoph -- Dembach Goo Informatik GmbH & Co.
