We have one running on the redhat 7.1 with the latest apache 1.3.27. We are using the unixodbc from easysoft as our odbc driver with a Mysql-max 3.23.55 database server.
It has worked very well until the last 2 weeks when we started getting errors saying that it couldn't find the DSN periodically. That may be a coding problem, but I don't think so. It displays the correct dsn in the error message, and it always dies on the first database statement in the taf. This server ran great for the last several months with apache 1.3.20, but only upgraded it because I was trying to fix my dsn problem. I don't think the new apache is causing the problems If you try to run the new redhat 8 you will have to remove the default apache. I have not tried it, but I can't see that the tango plugin will work with apache 2. Here are my notes from my install of apache.
