There i post the following statement.

so far the servers i've been on use 1.3.x (1.3.29 to be exact) and i've been happy.

I never used 2.0 though, but why fix something that doesnt need a fixing?

1.3 is by far the most widely used server

i had 2.0 but it is still very much in 'beta' and doesnt support many functions hence why people use 1.3

Most hosting companies still use 1.3x.

I am currently using the 2.0.48, as i found out there only a limited support for the 2.0.x. I to came across probles which runned fine on the 1.3.x. I guess i will make a down-grade on my box ;-).

Thanks for all the replies.

Shortly before I was laid off from my university web developer/web server manager job, we upgraded to Apache 2.x (too long to recall exact version) and had no problems.

This was on an HP-UX box (I had no real voice when it came to system platform decisions, the director had a thing for expensive unix boxes...), with SSL, mod_auth_ldap, PHP 4.x (Im thinking it was a later 4.2.x release), and a whole host of PHP extensions. Also used virtual domains and a few other mods, mostly security related (director was also a security freak...now security is good, but doubling up firewalls of the same type is just.....pointless)

Ive used both, and if building a new server I would probably go with Apache 2, but your mileage may vary. I just say use what fits your needs best, and what your more comfortable with.
