RE: [PHP-DEV] Support Apache 1.3.6 or not?

I say don't support them, to an extent; you don't want to force everyone to have the latest and greatest. A few older versions should work; maybe back to 1.3.12 or 15. Anyone who runs a flawed product is asking for trouble, look at all the NT/2K IIS machines :) A lot of hosting companies are still running fairly old versions of Apache, but this is due to the fact they have poor upgrade capabilities because of their 99.xxx% uptime guarantees. Plus their techs seem to be scared of new things?? -Chris -----Original Message----- From: jani@zoidberg.pentap.net [mailto:jani@zoidberg.pentap.net]On Behalf Of Jani Taskinen Sent: Monday, 25 June, 2001 3:17 PM To: Wilfredo Sanchez Cc: php-dev@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DEV] Support Apache 1.3.6 or not?

Anyway, IMO we shouldn't bother supporting that old versions of Apache. It's already in version 1.3.20 and there have been a lot security patches since 1.3.6, IIRC. So there should be more reasons to update than not to. But I'd like to hear other opinions too before doing anything about this. --Jani -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
