Apache 1.3 vs Apache 2.0

[DhoTjai]

I wonder wich one is better.

Is it worth upgrading to 2.0?

What are your opinions about them? Performance/security etc

As far as i can tell you, apache 2 has been a real pain for me.

Log limits, just goes down without an reason and needs to be restarted.:eek: my advise: stay with good old 1.3.x , wich i have done that too.

You need some tools to restart httpd when down every 1min.

My experience was with apache 2.0.x weal, dont know how 2.2.x is.

Anyway, the log/domain limit, is the most frsustrating thing in apache 2.0.x. :mad:

Personally i'm not interested in the tools.. but others may be;)

I upgraded to Apache 2.0.59 a couple days ago (along with PHP 5) because an app a client needed to run required it.

I can confirm that Apache 2.0 does need to be restarted fairly often for some reason. I think I will move to Apache 2.2 as I do not need FP extensions on the server and see how it does.

When you have it installed and worked with it, please let us know your experience with apache 2.2.x DamnSkippy:)

some modules in particular mod_security work better with apache 2 but if you dont have modules that need apache 2 and stability is essential I still find apache 1.3 to give the least problems. On servers I have seen using apache 2.2 their is a good performance boost.

[DhoTjai]

I noticed apache 2.0xxx is faster then apache 1.3.37 (what a cool version!)

If I want to go back to 1337, will the httpd files stay 2.0 or convert to 1.3.37?

[Chrysalis]

they have to be converted back, it says how in the DA knowledgebase.

As I said in one post:

Apache 1.3 vs. 2.0 performance: http://ilia.ws/archives/32-Apache-1-vs-Apache-2-Performance.html

Apache 1.3 compiled with static PHP module: http://ilia.ws/archives/28-PHPApache-Static-vs-DSO.html

Looks like the results are controversial, one account says Apache 2.2.2 is about 24% faster at serving PHP files while another says its 27% slower.
