[Package Request] - mod-php #699

Open bgrcsaid opened 2 months ago

bgrcsaid commented 2 months ago

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name. mod-php

Is this an update to existing package or new package request? new

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify. yes, it is included in AL2

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc) We’ve been running LAMP stack for over a decade now using mod_php It’s reliable, battle tested and has been working great for us. All our Production and Development environments using LAMP stack are configured with mod_php We’re talking probably 50+ instances of Apache server with mod_php running across our EC2s and ECS. And and another few dozens if we include local development environments running on Docker. Moving now from mod_php to php-fpm on just configuration and redeployment side alone would be heavy lift. Not to mention we’d have to do some performance testing, configurations tweaking etc.

I am certainly not saying this is the way we would go for Amazon Linux, but wanted to add the data point of RHEL having deprecated mod_php https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/8.6_release_notes/deprecated_functionality#deprecated-functionality_dynamic-programming-languages-web-and-database-servers

From looking around, I cannot find any evidence that upstream PHP is removing mod_php or even deprecating it, but I may be looking in the wrong place.
