That's odd because they don't seem to mention that. They don't even tell you where you can download 1.2.x. Seems to me like sticking with an old version like that is asking to be hacked.

someone mod this asshat down.
The Apache 2 series is now using a "Kernel style" numbering system (2.1 tree is a dev tree that will create 2.2) but the apache 1.3.x tree is where you need to be if you are running apache 1.3.x for compatability with old modules or any other reason.

So, in short, do not update your Stable Apache installs to this development version!

Yer trolllin', but I'll bite. Apache does not use the even/odd version number scheme for 1.3. Any 1.3 release you may encounter is as 'production' as it is ever going to be, and it is this version that 63% of all web sites run on.

The 2.x development effort recently forked a 2.0 stable branch, with development happening on HEAD and fixes backported to the branch after review. The HEAD effort is usually referred to as 2.1, but no official releases have been made of this tree yet. There are plans to eventually promote the 2.1 effort to 2.2 and make releases of it. This would more closely follow the linux kernel version numbering scheme.

You've got to admire them for supplying fixes for a Dead (if not almost) OS

yea I noticed that there are a lot of people that still make software for OS/2

Apache HTTP Server addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.

It helps if you can distinguish between hardware and software before entering into such a discussion.

Apache HTTP Server (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM)

???? Apache HTTP Server is a web server software from the Apache Group. Apache does not make computers. From your message I guess that your machine is a Mac. So what you are saying is that a Macintosh running Apache HTTP Server is slow copying large files.

At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Apache HTTP Server, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.

Again, Apache HTTP Serve

There is no such thing as a windows nt crash .. only a tempory set back. I wish you non windows guys would get that straight windows doesn't crash. It is full of holes gets viruses, and a case of the worms now and then, but it never really crashes. It just doesn't work sometimes. Its resting pining for the fjords not dead! Like bsd oh shit I had better check my Hot Mail see thats how good windows works I can always get my hot mail.

Re:Apache Server problems

Um? Lets see, I run Apache on:

SPARC Solaris 8 on an E5500, E450, and an Ultra5.

x86 Linux (Gentoo) on a Pentium 4 2.4GHz on MSI Board

x86 OpenBSD on a AMD Athlon

You're confusing software and hardware. Apache distributions are available on many many platforms, not just Mac. In fact, I would go as far as to say Apache distros that run on Mac are far fewer than any other.

Yes

But does it make toast. Or bagels?
Seriously. What even comes close to competing with A: The freeness and B:The power of Apache.

It's really kind've ridiculous. Don't you think?
