http2 advice

[iddqd_x]

Hello!

I'm confused with the available configuration options in EA4.

I want to use benefits of http2. Yes, it's quite simple, just install mod_http2 package.

At this moment I run prefork+mod_ruid2.

From cPanel docs I found the following information:
I _must_ switch from prefork to event (worker?) mpm if I want http2 support
I won't be able to use mod_ruid2 anymore with another mpm
As I need to run sites under different users (nor www-data nor apache user nor nobody) I can use suPHP
But suPHP can't be used with Zend opcache.

What is the best option (fast/secure/etc) at this time?

What can be used for suexec option (mod_ruid2 alternative) ?
I need to know which account (apache virtualhost) use too much cpu/ram. Server-status handler is very useful.

Is it possible without any 3party software? (mod_lsapi or nginx on frontend side to rule http2).

I guess the there's only one configuration that will work to match all requirements (opcache and run php under user account) and it's: event mpm + fpm.

Thank you.

Hello @iddqd_x,

PHP-FPM with the Event MPM is an alternative that will allow you to use HTTP2 and avoid using insecure permissions for PHP files. There's some discussion of the various options you can use at:

Prefork and HTTP2

Additionally, for information about file permission requirements for PHP handlers and MPM options, please see:

PHP Handlers - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation
Multi-Processing Modules - MPMs - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.
