Now this in my opinion should give some fun results of which i will find some piece on whenever i should use the 1.3.x or the 2.0

There i post the following statement.


What do you prefer to use..

Apache 1.3.x or the Apache 2.0.x

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.
