Is Apache 2.0 Worth the Switch for PHP?
An anonymous reader writes "It seems like some of the members of the Apache Software Foundation are a little angry with the PHP Community because they don't recommend using Apache 2.0 with PHP. Since PHP is installed on half of all Apache servers this is a major issue for them. A number of high-profile PHP community members such as John Coggeshall and Chris Shiflett have blogged about this decision in light of a recent posting by Apache Software Foundation Member Rich Bowen which called PHP's anti-Apache2 stance FUD. Is there any real reason for the PHP community to start recommending Apache 2.0, especially when the 1.3.x series of Apache is rock solid and proven? Note Rich did later commend PHP for being a great product, so it's not all flames."
So there you have it PHP sucks in comparison to perl, because some guy on the internet says so. Now aren't you glad you stuck with your arcane-obfuscated-gibberish parser?
Anybody still running Apache1 on Windows is nuts. Apache2 works way better on Windows.
;)
Anyone still running Windows is nuts
It's not nearly late enough in the thread for someone respected to post correct, non-inflamatory, rational information.
You're going to stop all the foaming at the mouth, and who wants a half-frothed troll this close to Christmas?
Never confuse volume with power.

Anyone who runs thru windows is nuts!
Stick with kernel 1.3.79 and Apache 1.1 just to be "safe".
Are you intolerant of intolerant people?
Anyone who wants to keep this joke going is nuts.
When will Windows be ready for the desktop?
On the other hand, I had looked at the problem reasonably hard when choosing supported software for UserLinux, so I did know something about the problem. So perhaps that disqualifies me.

How much longer can we keep this joke going?
Talk to Microsoft, it's them what's keeping the joke going.

If Frontpage extensions are not available for Apache 2, that sounds like an extremely compelling reason to use 2.0! Frontpage extensions should never be used in any way, shape or form IMHO. I suppose they can actually be secured in some fashion, but I've never encountered any organization that succeeded at it. These are always backdoors into web defacements and depending on the architecture, the organization itself.
Actually, Windows 2003 IIS is quite nice. I know I'm going to get flamed and probably modded down but if your stuck on Windows 2003 (in particular) IIS 6 > Apache. Note, I've tested PHP on IIS 6 over Apache with PHP. IIS 6 was faster, more secure (assuming patched) and used less CPU. No, I didn't do any official study, that's was my findings personally. I found people who bitch about IIS 6 have either a. not used it or b. Are poor Windows admins or maybe both.
Apache runs anybody on nuts through a window.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
Anyone who wants to keep his nuts will use Apache2.

Anybody reading this far is now nuts.
Life is like a web application. Sometime you need cookies just to get by.
If you have very large numbers of processes, the O(1) scheduler alone is enough of a reason. For personal use, I find the low latency quite a good reason to change.
I suppose it depends on what you use the machine for. Linux isn't ready for the desktop so I don't run a GUI on it. Thus I really have no latency issues running maild/httpd/sshd/etcd.
One 3 too many, and one 7 short of 1337! Work on it. Maybe install Slack or something...

The problems with Christianity and D&D are essentially the same: too many people RTFM, but don't comprehend it.
Great sig!
The good thing about Christianity is that the DM is much, much better. Or at least more consistent.
The bad thing is that He can't be bought off with a six-pack of Dew and a pizza.
The good thing about D&D is that the DM is usually your friend and will try to make it so you have fun.
The bad thing is that the DM can give you millions of gold pieces, +8 everything and make you king of world or even a god, but you still gotta go to work/class on Monday morning.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
