Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-05 18:19:21] okapi at yahoo dot com Can we have adjusted the information on the PHP apache 2 manual page http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php) from: > *Warning* > > Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment > neither on Unix nor on Windows. To something more clear. This line has been the death to many to try Apache 2. The statement should be more along the lines of "Some PHP modules are not fully tested for running in the default multithreaded environment of Apache 2. Core functions should be safe for this environment. To be extra careful, it is recommended to run Apache 2 in prefork mode which should avoid problems as it runs similar to Apache 1.3.x in this mode." Something along the lines of this and then for there to be a list of modules tested / check and not tested which could have problems. A comment was made: "The PHP core is perfectly stable on Apache 2 -- It's just a few extensions that cause trouble... We should probably be saying that instead of just rejecting Apache 2 entirely." This single ambigous line of "Do not use..." is not productive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-27 15:09:46] jlx at surfeu dot de unable to get apache2.0.49 work with php4.3.6 and use php as a static library, only the dso version works :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
