  2. Apache 2.0 by ceswiedler · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are people using 2.0 much yet? I remember all of the blowup over how 2.0 didn't really add anything unless you wanted to run it on Windows, and it caused a lot of problems for modules like mod_perl. Is everyone still sticking with 1.3?

      Oh yes.
      mod_perl is a real showstopper for me. I'd love to upgrade to Apace2.x but I really need mod_perl to function properly and it isn't ready so I'm sticking with 1.3 for now.

      Does anyone know the status of mod_perl? Should I try to lessen my dependency on it? Is 2.0 worth the upgrade even if I have to rewrite my app?

    You know, I avoided the RPM of apache when I built my webserver, instead choosing to download it and compile 2.0 from source, and get it working myself. Which I did. Having done it once, I know it pretty well now, and it took me five minutes to go from 2.0.45 to 2.0.48 after seeing this story, having saved my ./configure in an executable file. I ran that, make, make install, copy the conf files and the resin .so, test it, and switch the symbolic link that the sys V script goes to.

    So. Untinstall the deb, download it, compile it, install it, and get it working. It's no harder to configure, and you're free of package tyranny.
