</div>You can setup a separate fastcgi pool for each user. That way if their<br>
scripts get exploited, the only files they'll be able to mess with are<br>
that user.<br>
<br>
No more "www-data" or the webserver user owning every uploaded file on<br>
the system.<br>
<br>
Also, you'll be using FastCGI, not mod_php, which is tied in to the<br>
webserver. From the looks of it, based on Lighty, nginx, Zeus, etc...<br>
most people consider FastCGI the better method, since it does not tie<br>
up the webserver threads/processes/whatever with processing PHP. It<br>
should be more scalable. I think Litespeed's mod_php might work well<br>
too, but again - unless you can define a different uid/gid for each<br>
vhost and configure suEXEC how you want, different FastCGI pools is<br>
still the way to go.<br>
<br>
I'd say php-fpm is even more useful for shared hosting since you can<br>
easily define multiple pools (one for each user for instance) - that's<br>
how I use it right now. The other key benefit (apache-style process<br>
spawning) is coming soon, not quite finished yet. Between both of<br>
those, that takes care of my two key desires.<br>
