This needs to be in the faq and linked to from the apache2 installation docs.

Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-05 18:19:21] okapi at yahoo dot com Can we have adjusted the information on the PHP apache 2 manual page http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php) from: > *Warning* > > Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment > neither on Unix nor on Windows. To something more clear. This line has been the death to many to try Apache 2. The statement should be more along the lines of "Some PHP modules are not fully tested for running in the default multithreaded environment of Apache 2. Core functions should be safe for this environment. To be extra careful, it is recommended to run Apache 2 in prefork mode which should avoid problems as it runs similar to Apache 1.3.x in this mode." Something along the lines of this and then for there to be a list of modules tested / check and not tested which could have problems. A comment was made: "The PHP core is perfectly stable on Apache 2 -- It's just a few extensions that cause trouble... We should probably be saying that instead of just rejecting Apache 2 entirely." This single ambigous line of "Do not use..." is not productive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-27 15:09:46] jlx at surfeu dot de unable to get apache2.0.49 work with php4.3.6 and use php as a static library, only the dso version works :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-19 07:11:05] anon at example dot com It's true that we have a fully evolved 'Chicken' under Unix. However, under Windows, it's still in its pre-chicken state. A2 deals with that. It's what the APR is all about, dealing with poor POSIX conformance under windows. In my experience it does work better than A1 with PHP4, but persuading people of that is hard because of the notice the PHP developers have put up. <rant> Remember some people *have* to run MS Windows-- the decision out of their hands. And that is quite apart from the fact that there are (shriek! heresey!) situations where it is more appropriate than Unix.</rant> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
