Adam, I think you're misinterpreting the Release Notes (though it's not your fault, because it is a bit unclear). Macromedia does indeed still formally support Apache 1.3.x versions, according to this link below, which was last updated on March 19: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18340.htm If you look under the "Supported Software" section, you will see a reference to the need to recompile Apache using the new modules in U3. In fact, there are specific fixes in U3 to remove that annoying "EAPI" error you see when you start CFMX. I thought I remember reading somewhere that you will need to use 1.3.27 because of some key bug fixes, but I can't seem to find that link right now, so you can take that with a grain of salt. In reading the U3 Release Notes, I do see where Macromedia talks about versions of Apache prior to 2.0.43. However, based on numerous posts, they consider the code bases between 1.3.x and 2.0.x to be different. The reason Macromedia keep "upping" the 2.0.x requirements is because Apache kept fiddling with the Magic Number, which was causing problems not just with CF, but many other modules, including PHP. Apache has stated that they will not do this anymore with 2.0.43 and onward, which, I believe, is why Macromedia raised the requirement level (and I'm sure there are other reasons that I'm not aware of). So, as far as Macromedia is concerned at least, "earlier than 2.0.43" means any 2.0.x release version prior to 2.0.43. I in no way speak for Macromedia, as I am not an employee or other representative for them. Perhaps Stephen Erat or somebody else who monitors this list at Macromedia will chime in. But I have seen this topic arise many times and the above has always been their response.
