hi! It seems like everytime I turn around lately, I'm opening up another can of worms and I sure don't like what I just read.
this book: Setting Up Lamp (Getting Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP Working Together) Sybex/Wiley ISBN 0-7821-4337-7
Page 197 to quote "Which Version of Apache to Use": Choosing your Apache version is something that should be taken from the correct perspective. Apache 1.3 is proven to be stable and, most importantly, compatible with PHP. Apache 2.0 is stable; however, there have been multiple problems with PHP compatibility. Making Apache 2.0 and PHP work together is as predictable as flipping a coin. You will never know for sure whether the configuration will work properly and you might be faced with in-depth troubleshooting and problem solving trying to find out why they will not cooperate.
From our standpoint, we really hope that Apache 2.0 and PHP cooperate
sooner rather than later because the features of Apache 2.0 look very promising. For this book, we will be going with the tried and true concept and use the Apache 1.3 series to avoid any heartache you might have due to different configurations and luck of the draw. ....end of quote...
wow...this book is copyrighted(2004) if that makes any difference. I sure don't like the idea of going backwards w/Apache, since, although I don't use php but w/standard xhtml/css it has shown me no problems at all and I just don't like to even think in terms of doing what they suggest. But I want to hear from y'all on this. Do y'all find that these problems between Apache 2.0 and PHP are really that prominent as they have stated? Or, maybe I am wishful thinking here but I am hoping that some will reply that they have no problems whatsoever using the 2 together...instead...just go to this website and there is a good tutorial on this subject. lol
thx in advance,
John Rose

what are the problems they have stated ? it might be a good idea to also as the php lists and the apache lists about these issues.

if you have any problems, file bugs. we'd rather handle them that way

karanbir, when I first posted on this, I quoted the book I was reading, the msg got 7 quick replies...everyone of them more or less stated that there seem to be no problems w/centos/apache/and php just the way it comes right now...the book was/is copyrighted in 2004 and there might have been issues then or the author is just set in his ways w/the older version of apache but after reading the replies, I feel very good about the current apache shipped w/centos 4.2 and php... I think this is a dun deal now
thx all,
John Rose
