Apache 1.3.x vs. 2.0.x: The Debate Returns
darthcamaro writes "internetnews.com is running a story about the new Apache 2.0.49 release. They actually got a hold of a pair of Apache Software Foundation members and got them to speak out about the 1.3.x vs. 2.0.49 debate! Also Apache Director Sander Striker told internetnews.com that he expects the Apache 1.3.30 release cycle to begin this week... I still use 1.3.x because I've been using the Apache 1.x series 'forever' and I've never found a solid reason to change. Also, as pointed out in this article, the official PHP documentation clearly states, 'Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment neither on Unix nor on Windows.'"
I'm using RackSpace and the only way I can get PHP 4.3 and Postgresql 7.4 is if I use RedHat ES 3.0.
That's funny, we're using Rackspace and have a variety of 7.3, AS and ES servers. We can install whatever software we want on them. It's really not that hard.
The only other option is to use PHP 4.1 and Postgresql 7.1. Stupid RackSpace.
No, your other option is to install them yourself. That's why they give you root access to your servers. You really shouldn't blame Rackspace for your own shortcomings as a unix admin.
