EasyApache4 Review

Today; After struggling for an hour with the new EasyApache4 (My First Attempt To Switch) I decided to revert back to EasyApache3.

I think EasyApache4 isn't ready for real-world use yet it's advertised as a stable product which is misleading,
To sum it up here's what's wrong:
- The interface to select a php handler does not work while you're running EasyApache4
- /scripts/easyapache does not run & there's no /scripts/easyapache4 script to use
- The build process (A Python script) would use 100% of cpu for a long period of time before giving you any output (You would think something went wrong)
clicking again on links in the build interface might bring your server to its knees.
- The build interface sucks and isn't what anybody would call a user-friendly interface with too many pages & affected/unaffected sliders where you would lose track
of what you're doing (There's a summary before you actually build stuffs but it's not very helpful).
- After rebuilding apache every single website had '403 error' unable to read htaccess file so apparently there's a permission issue or ownership problem which isn't
addressed automatically

Compared to EasyApache3 I would never recommend anyone to make a switch,
The way I see it there are no added value of using this new functionality at the moment; Therefore this project should either evolve quickly or just die.

 

This could have been resolved by using a redirect to the appropriate script by detecting what EasyApache version is running on the system.

Even if Yum is being used, that doesn't mean having a command line interface similar to EasyApache3 is an impossible task

I hope so; I think I am still running v58, I might give it another try when I update to v60 (If it's a stable build)

It was an error about unable to read .htaccess files so I guess something was changed whither it was an intended behaviour or not is a different subject.
