Description Robert Scheck 2015-04-26 14:00:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
None of the PHP packages in RHEL provides php(httpd), thus only a hard
dependency to either php or php-fpm is possible while it does not make
sense to install mod_php when php-fpm is in use. Thus PHP packages on
RHEL should simply provide php(httpd) (like they do already at Fedora).

Cross-filed case 01436505 on the Red Hat customer portal.
Comment 3 Remi Collet 2015-04-27 05:39:54 UTC 
This is not a simple fix.

In Fedora we have done a lot of work for this change. php(httpd) means a PHP working "out-of-the-box".

For now, in RHEL-7, only mod_php could provide this (and, this is trivial)

For php-fpm, we need to change php.conf, and split httpd to have the httpd-filesystem (used by php-fpm for user and directory ownership)
Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2015-04-27 20:55:19 UTC 
Oh, I wasn't aware that this means an out-of-the-box working PHP. Do you see
chances to backport the efforts from Fedora to RHEL 7.x? RHEL 7 is relatively
young and I am not sure if it makes sense to make packages depending on the
mod_php while php-fpm seems to gain more and more attractivity (at least from
my perspective).
