Apache 2.4 has had a stable release out for over 2 years but is only used by 2.5% of active Apache sites. Why is the adoption so low?? The Apache foundation has been recommending upgrading to 2.4 for some time and looking at the improvements I see significant value in several. I don't see any reason why anybody wouldn't want to use it but the community seems to think it's bad.What am I missing??

Biggest problem is with Apache changing format of conf entries. For example, when Ubuntu upgraded to Apache-2.4.x the normal upgrade process bricked every single domain being served. I was able to find the fix + had to hand edit 100s of files for domain confs. For most mere mortals, doing an upgrade + having 100s or 1000s of domains go dark, creates much discomfort in pits of their stomachs. Many people, just rolled back OS version + Apache. In the future, might be best to think about this before hand... if mass adoption of new code is the end goal. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
