Just curious: Is compiling both mod_perl *and* php into Apache not a good idea? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. But, I noticed a site (bugs.horde.org) that did it, and was just wondering. As long as you have enough memory to avoid swapping because of the extra memory needed to

I have a site running Apache-1.3.6, PHP-3.0.9, mod_perl-1.20 on Solaris with a Sybase Database. And it has some performance flaws. This site has thousands of hits per day (not sure of how many, though) and it should be faster (few images, no animations whatsoever). Can anybody tell me what

I don't use DSO, may be someone who does can clear things out? Why there are so many problems with DSO. The best answer I heard so far: "DSO isn't stabilized yet." So I have just repeated it for you, Michael. Come on, are we on a techical list or what? Anybody care/know to explain when

Re: Generic Server

1999-10-29 Thread Rasmus Lerdorf
I don't think this is currently possible with the current Apache, but hear me out. Would it be possible to have a generic server, like Apache, but not just for HTTP - something that could also serve up NNTP connections, FTP connections, etc. It seems to me at first look this should be
