Apache with php-fpm
 It should be merged with Apache. Everything in one place seems logical (Discuss) |
PHP-FPM is the Fast Process Manager for PHP which runs as a service that spawns PHP processes as needed when files files are requested through the FastCGI interface. Passing this off to the PHP-FPM results in interpreting the PHP files much faster than having Apache spawn new processes each time a page is requested. You can read more about it here.
