We do it in our spare time, and often at the expense of other things in our often-busy lives. You do have a point that the apache documentation is old and crusty, but a little tact goes a long way* when it comes to bug reporting. (* not as long as an actual patch to fix the problem, though) S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-23 16:56:33] henke at henke37 dot cjb dot net Description: ------------ The documentation on how to hook php in the apache httpd config is a piece of shit. Both as cgi and as module. It pollutes the document root, it pollutes the mime types and is insecure. Please delete the whole page(php.net/install.windows.apache2) and replace with a sane configuration. Reproduce code: --------------- Urls that explains why the documentation is totally insane. http://www.devside.net/articles/php http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHPOnWindows Expected result: ---------------- A nice easy to use config example that has a high quality and does not abuse features. Actual result: -------------- An hard to use config that is hard to maintain and uses several hacks just to get it kinda working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43087&edit=1
