Oh sorry, I didn't mean to imply removal of mod_php or anything. Thats a bit drastic at this point. I was talking about fixing the mess of http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.commandline.php saying "don't use this sapi" and the confusing http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.php You may also notice the wtf apache2 install guide: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php But if "make install" could do most of the formalities http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.nginx.php tells you to do, then we are golden and we can make that as one of the headline features of 5.6; "Installing PHP is once again a simple task!" -Hannes
