hi,

the php module is not threadsafe therefore no worker mpm in apache possible.  and about httpd, would be nice if you change the default to 64bit and cancel 32bit, this applies to all binaries/packages IMHO,  we have 2020 already.

We are providing php-fpm (separate rpm) which is the recommended way to use with apache threaded mpm module.

You need to edit the httpd conf file accordingly to disable mod_php and enable php-fpm.

For some packages, we are still keeping 32bit as the default since there are some risks involved particularly for packages like httpd which contains conf files. Since conf files won't get replaced when the package is updated, it will cause 64bit application to load conf file meant for 32bit. 

We are currently working on a plan to make 64bit as the default for all the packages.
