cool... it installs without a hitch now. i had to go hunting around mod_php4.c to find out the correct apache mime type... but then it started working nicely. i'll be running as many apps as I can afford time to through this thing. and if i'm feeling lucky i might run a production site on it for a day to see what happens. one thing i would put on the beta page is a BIG note about the change in .htaccess and apache config parameters. i had to go guess that

        php3_include_path ./:/usr/local/libphp

should now be:

        php_value include_path ./:/usr/local/libphp

and since apache was croaking on the previous one, i would assume most people would be fairly frustrated. the extended problem is that php3 & php4 don't appear to play together. so you have to commit to setting up a separate site (if you use have those pesky php3_* configuration options in your .htaccess files...) i had only been testing some command line scripts before - but after just sending a few pages through the new version, there is a noticeable performance improvement.

Noticeable is a nice way to put it :) You can keep both php3 configurations and php4 configurations by using this: <IfModule mod_php3.c> php3_include_path ... </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_value include_path ... </IfModule> We'll have a conversion tool ready for the release.
