Advanced Apache Configuration
EasyApache 4 provides several ways for you to customize your Apache configuration.

Advanced PHP Configuration
This document provides advanced PHP configuration file information.
Apache Module: Brotli

cPanel & WHM provides the ModSecurity SDBM utility to purge expired entries from the /var/cpanel/secdatadir/ip.pag cache file.
Apache Module: MPM ITK
The mod_mpm_itk Apache module causes the Apache process to switch to the domain owner's user identifier (UID) and group identifier (GID) before it responds to the request.
Apache Module: Ruid2
The mod_ruid2 Apache module is a per-request module that allows a domain’s HTTP requests to run as the owner of that domain.
Apache vs. PHP-FPM Bottleneck with Child Processes
Apache servers that use the `prefork` MPM with fewer server instances than the maximum number of PHP-FPM child processes may experience performance issues. This document explains how to resolve this dependency issue.
Custom Templates
A custom template file modifies how cPanel & WHM builds the Apache configuration's virtualhost entries.
EasyApache 4 and the ea-php-cli Package
The ea-php-cli package is EasyApache 4's replacement for the system-provided /usr/bin/php binary.
