etrader Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Following common tutorials, we usually install selected modules of php. I wonder why not installing all modules (e.g. as yum install php php-*). Are they really useless? We have lots of unused softwares on our servers; do these unnecessary php modules consumes lots of resources? On the other hand, I am curious to know what are the necessary modules of php for a normal usage? P.S. I think that we install most of php modules by php-common!

Doug G Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Installing software modules you don't use may create unrecognized security vulnerabilities in your server's websites. PHP features you're not paying attention to may give potential hackers more ammunition.

etrader Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks Doug, it is an important issue. I am interested to know what php modules (in addition to php-common) are really necessary.
