the 389-ds needs the apache with mpm-worker. This is now a stable module in 2.4 which we have.
but PHP needs to be compiled threadsafe in order to use it
There isn't a lot of information on how to complie php threadsafe.
I did some research and fedora compiles it with --enable-maintainer-zst
They then have a little file that decides if mpm-prefork is used or not and loads the correct php-
module
Whitout this, the apache mpm-worker doens't make much sense.
