hi all! i've installed php5 and apache2 on a winxp os. after reading the php install file. there's paragraph like this: --------- We do not recommend using a threaded MPM in production with Apache2. Use the prefork MPM instead, or use Apache1. For information on why, read the related FAQ entry on using Apache2 with a threaded MPM <http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.apache2> --------- how can i check what kind of mpm im currently using? and how can i configure my apache to use prefork MPM?
On windows, you have no choice. The mpm is always threaded (and was even in 1.3). This makes the warning above pretty absurd. (Although, in its defense, I'm sure the php people would point out that the big problem with php and threaded servers are non-thread-safe libraries, and the libraries people use on win32 are more likely be to be thread-safe than the typical unix stuff.)
