Re: New FreeBSD 6.0 system advice sought

I would stay with the apache 1.3 branch because of some compatibility
issues with the 2.0 branch. I would certainly move to at least the v4
branch of MySQL. I haven't tried any of my webapps with v5 yet because
of some strange SQL errors I was getting while installing one of them
with MySQL v5. It doesn't matter what order you install them in.

 * Apache

 I'm really just running it as a web server, with php  MySQL support and
 not much else.

Compatibility with what?
2.2 is out now, 1.3 seems to be getting mainly security fixes.

To the OP:

you'll  get a better answer if you say
what apps you're planning to use. php5,  mysql4 and apache2 play nicely
together, and have for years now.

I understand there were some issues with php and the worker MPM, since php
is'nt thread safe, but nobody uses worker anyway.

Re: New FreeBSD 6.0 system advice sought

2006-01-17 Thread Daniel A.
Hi,
When I built my server a few months ago, I was asking the same
questions to myself.
At first, I decided that I would go with Apache 1.3, MySQL 4, and PHP 5.
They played along very nicely, absolutely no problems.
Later, I was asked by one of my users if I would like to upgrade to
MySQL 5. And so I did.
I've run several web apps on my server since then (phpbb, smf,
wordpress, phpmyadmin, etc), and it seems that all of these are either
updated to support MySQL 5. I've never had any compatibility issues
with that.
So, my personal and biased suggestion would be Apache 1.3, MySQL 5 and PHP5.
