I am currently moving my app to an Apache 2 server. I did not build the server (not my area of expertise) and don't know how how it was built, but I can talk to the folks who did it and find out. It was their choice to go to Apache 2, but I still have time to get them to go back if need be. I'd like to understand the recommendations more clearly. Are there configurations of Apache 2 that are OK with PHP? The above suggests prefork hasn't been tested but the remainder of your message suggests multithreading (which is different from prefork as I read the Apache docs -- right?) is even more problematic. It sounds like this is what's behind the recommendation at http://us2.php.net/install.apache2 which says "Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment neither on Unix nor on Windows." But the same page says "The following versions of PHP are known to work with the most recent version of Apache 2.0:", so I'm not quite clear on what's being recommended. FWIW httpd-l on the new server shows: Compiled in modules: core.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_include.c mod_log_config.c mod_env.c mod_setenvif.c mod_ssl.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_mime.c mod_status.c mod_autoindex.c mod_asis.c mod_suexec.c mod_cgi.c mod_negotiation.c mod_dir.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_so.c Thanks for any comments. -- Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
