#31698 [Opn->Bgs]: install.txt Apache2 dangling FAQ ref

ID: 31698 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: fumanchu at amor dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Win2k PHP Version: 4.3.10 New Comment: The piece of text that refers to the FAQ was changed to: We do not recommend using a threaded MPM in production with Apache2. Use the prefork MPM instead, or use Apache1. For information on why, read the following And the FAQ title to: Why shouldn't I use Apache2 with a threaded MPM in a production environment? See these diffs: http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/language-snippets.ent?r1=1.125&r2=1.126 http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/faq/installation.xml?r1=1.40&r2=1.41 This bug report is due to an "old" install.txt compared to a new PHP Manual build. So, this bug is officially bogus although it's understandable why it was opened. If someone feels the script that generates install.txt from the doc sources should include links then open a new bug report as that's a different issue. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-26 01:51:28] sean@php.net I changed this FAQ entry. The install.txt file also needs to be changed, though. S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-26 01:03:02] jed@php.net The Apache2 threading FUD is what the INSTALL file is referring to, and this is located at: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.apache2 It appears someone got lazy and converted text to INSTALL, without preserving links -- this problem appears in more than one place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-26 00:01:57] fumanchu at amor dot org Description: ------------ Upon a fresh install of PHP 4.3.10, install.txt contains the following text: Apache 2.0.x on Microsoft Windows This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 2.0.x installs of PHP on Microsoft Windows systems. We also have instructions and notes for Apache 1.3.x users on a separate page. Note: You should read the manual installation steps first! Warning Do not use Apache 2.0.x and PHP in a production environment neither on Unix nor on Windows. For information on why, read the following FAQ entry ------------ There doesn't seem to be any FAQ entry to read, nor does nay other portion of install.txt explain why Apache 2 should not be used in production. Perhaps that limitation has been lifted? Or perhaps a URL is missing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31698&edit=1
