  The aspect people complaining about is more a version thingie, e.g.

  only with php 4.2.x1, php4.2.x2 and apache 2.04x only with php4.2y1
  or php4.2.y2? It should be clearly mentioned, that the support for
  apache2 isn't production stable ;-)

I think, it would be nice to add information to one place, the documentation
about Apache 2 support.

  1. It's not production ready

 Ah yes - but that will contradict greatly, to the best version yet marketing
 trick the Apache Group is advertising on their front page.
 We can mention it to users, in the bug db etc. But officially documenting, that
 Apache 2 is really a beta product, doesn't really express consistency, between
 the family.

I thought it more from another point of view: the support for apache2
in php is not production stable ,e.g. the sapi in php :-)
Maybe this is due to the fact (?) that apache2 is still beta (I really
don't know)  but form the php-side point of view, php-versions are not
production stable in conjunction with apache2. As Derick said, I don't
think this will hurt someone of the apachegroup.

but besides this, it would be kind, if just someone could provide some
infos from the php-side, like the *.exe names one windows ;-)

That's exactly what is the perception. I can live with that, but it's not very
stimulating for the people that work on apachefilter.
Since the 'official' release, Apache has changed it's API breaking BC 2 times
already. How can extension developers work on improvement then?

Maybe for windows it's the better version - I have no idea.
For unix it's far from that.

Fine with me - we all know better -;)

 But it's incorrect :). By saying Do not use Apache 2 and PHP in a 
 production environment you don't blame any of the two projects. 

I agree with Derick's approach.
There's no need to cast dispersions on either Apache2 or PHP.
Simply stating _clearly_ that the combination of PHP4 and Apache2
should not be used in a production environment is sufficient.

No need to play the blame-game. :)

Ack. So then, please add us some info on PHP - Apache2 versions
compatibility so we can add the info to the docs. Or is it only
Sascha who knows this (apache2 sapi author)?

For sure I don't want to blame anybody working on the php sapi for apache2
nor discourage them :-) I believe they do their best...
