The crux of the matter is that it is **very hard** to support every version throughout time. I'd argue it's an impossible effort and impractical.
Compound every *current* Apache version, every Apache module, every operating system, every dependent library, and you've got today's snapshot of a support footprint. Now let's add all of the permutations those four dimensions throughout time (older versions). You've got the picture. The healthy conflict between stability of a system (a snapshot in time like a Linux distribution) and Apache supportability (today's current versions) are two separate, but related matters. You add your value and judgment for how to manage the conflict in your domain. :) When relying on Apache support from this mailing list, Apache will need to be current. --Mark Mark Lavi, Enterprise Web Management Team @ SGI mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] || phone:+1-650-933-7707 -----Original Message----- From: Pid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 12:26 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Installing Apache 1.3 on Windows 2003 Techguy wrote: > It works, PHP doesn't - and since I have 1.3 on my Linux box I want to keep > them the same, and I don't plan on upgrading Linux.
