Hi all,
Earlier on I was sharing the discovery of an alternative binary for
Apache on Win32 at Apache Lounge (http://http://www.apachelounge.com).
Here are some updates on the implementation:
1. There are binaries for Apache 2.2 and modperl2, but none for
libapreq2. The ppd from theoryx5 works though.
2. Still have to be careful with spaces in directories. Seems to work,
though OS will pop up a httpd failure message. Can be scary to the client.
3. Apache2::Reload seems to be responsible for crashing the httpd
service at OS startup. But if you take omit it from httpd.conf during
the first Apache service start, stop the service, add it
(Apache2::Reload) back in, Apache will start and restart without
problems. In other words, you can use it during development, but not
during deployment.
