trq Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 In simple terms: An Apache module means that php is built into Apache itself and is handled as part of the request. CGI processors are separate from Apache. A request made to Apache for a file ending in *.php would be passed to the php interpreter and executed, its output then returned to Apache. In short, a module is allot faster, but as cgi you have the flexibility of being able to make configuration changes without the need to restart the web server.
