So, i guess that you we're also amongst those people who used Linux kernel 2.4.0?? Apache 2.0.35 is the first 'official' release of Apache 2. I advise you to wait at least for Apache version 2.0.40.. In August PHP 4.3.0 comes out (according to the planning) and will have better support for Apache. But working with the CGI version of PHP works fine with Apache 2. Only the module version offen crashes.

On IIS it's stable, on Apache 1.3.xx it's stable (You do know that apache is supporting more than 30 webservers right?!) If you want to use Apache 2 and PHP, than compile PHP as CGI-module and it will go fine.. -- With best regards, Dave Mertens, Development Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Innovative Solutions in Media BV Schiekade 101 3033 BG Rotterdam, Netherlands Tel. +31-10-2436060 Fax. +31-10-2436066 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
