Kevin Shoesmith	Tuesday 27 May 2008 4:52:08 pm Reading "Requirements for doing a normal installation", I find that I need to use Apache 1.3 when running eZ Publish on Windows. I've installed XAMPP as a PHP/MySQL localhost staging platform. It comes bundled with Apache 2.2. So I've hit my first snag. LOL. I've looked here (http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi) and can only find the Unix Source files for 1.3. If I want to install Apache 1.3 on Windows where do I get the 1.3 files?

Maxime Thomas	Tuesday 27 May 2008 11:25:20 pm Arf, I guess Linux is also the recommendation from eZ Systems. http://ez.no/ezpublish/requirements In my opinion, I suggest you, if it is possible, to install either a linux host or a virtual machine (cheaper). By the way, for your Apache 1.3, it will be difficult to get the sources of this version : Apache Fundation doesn't support it anymore, this is due to performance and stability issues on Windows.

Gaetano Giunta	Wednesday 28 May 2008 1:11:18 am Please do use Apache 2.2 on windows. It is much more stable than 1.3, and maintained too. And it has many better features/modules. In my own experience, the php problems with multithreaded webservers are specific to a very limited set of extensions/function calls. And if you really run into one of those, you can always switch to fastcgi (useful stuff can be downloaded from apachelounge.com).
