Apache 2.0 + PHP 4.2.0
Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2002 3:40 pm
I just wanted to make a post to keep everyone up to date on the developements of using the Apache 2.0 httpd webserver with out favorite scripting language PHP 4.
At this time the php crew has only included an experamental module for php 4.2.0 to work with Apache 2.0.35. I have found that they do not work well, are hard to install and configure and have many bugs that render the combo inoperable on production servers.
This leaves two choices (unless you think that IIS is a choice), using Apache 1.3.x and a php 4.2.0 module, or using Apache 2.0.35 and PHP as a parsed CGI. Personally I have gone the former route as it is free of most errors and I have experince in configurationof Apache 1.3.x (Apache 2 is a bit different and will require a little studying to configure properly).
As new updates are made avalibal they will be posted to this thread.
