On win I tried out the latest 2.043 Apache and a snap-build from snaps.php.net. As I can say, the installation is as usuall for the module and cgi version. The only thing to mention for the Windows-guys is to use sapi/php4apache2.dll and php-cgi.exe for the CGI Version. So far the install with a snap and the latest Apache, nothing about the functionality/technical aspects. It should be clearly mentioned, that the support for apache2 isn't production stable ;-) The aspect people complaining about is more a version thingie, e.g. they try to set up php 4.2.3 with apache 2.0.43 and this could not succeed. Is it really necessary to document that apache 2.03x works only with php 4.2.x1, php4.2.x2 and apache 2.04x only with php4.2y1 or php4.2.y2? For their own sanity people should try the latest php-builds with apache2 to test, IMHO it doesn't make sense to me to setup 4.2.0 with apache2filter.dll :-) Also a point to consider is the name of the correct cgi executable for win: in 4.2.3 it's php.exe the cli-build names php-cli.exe. In the 4.3.0-dev the cli names php.exe and the cgi-version php-cgi.exe. I don't know why the names changed, maybe to confuse the people once more and to give some work for the doc-folks ;-) Anyway: will this be the final names?
