CentOS 7, Apache 2.4, FPM/FastCGI, MariaDB

My 512M VPS is eating up memory with one development WordPress site, so I'm hoping this will lead me down a path of better tuning; if not, please inform.

I am attempting to switch from MPM Worker to MPM Event but am receiving the following error upon Apache restart:

AH00526: Syntax error on line 31 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration 

/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf

# Select the MPM module which should be used by uncommenting exactly # one of the following LoadModule lines: # prefork MPM: Implements a non-threaded, pre-forking web server # See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/prefork.html #LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so # worker MPM: Multi-Processing Module implementing a hybrid # multi-threaded multi-process web server # See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/worker.html # #LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so # event MPM: A variant of the worker MPM with the goal of consuming # threads only for connections with active processing # See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/event.html # LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so

Found that I needed to make the final lines of my php.conf conditional.

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module> # # Apache specific PHP configuration options # those can be override in each configured vhost # php_value session.save_handler "files" php_value session.save_path "/var/lib/php/session" </IfModule>

    what if you really need these values? There must be another solution to set these variables Commented Jul 23, 2016 at 13:48
  • The usual recommendation is to move them to php.ini, I believe. Commented Mar 29, 2019 at 8:58
