 I have researched a lot and Apache 0.0 in Event MPM + php-fpm seems to be the best performance combination for php (no need to use Nginx + php-fpm). Event MPM can be set in EasyApache, but php-fpm not. Why? As long as Cpanel offers PHP 0.0 (that has php-fpm built in), offering php-fpm is a must for Event MPM. Otherwise, Event MPM becomes barely useless in the EasyApache purpose.
