So if we are using 2.2 Apache then we could move to "worker" mpm with php-fpm. At the moment we wanted to fix this Wordpress/change owner issue quickly. To users wanting to use point and click tools to load images, themes and plugins etc in Wordpress and concerned about file ownership it is a necessity. Plus we cannot monitor their quotas. So my question is, while using prefork and php-fpm isn't ideally efficient, it isn't a problem if we use prefork and php-fpm. That won't break anything?
