Apache 1.3.5 is about 8 years old, and was never released. If you run software that flaky, and connected to the internet, you are pwned and should reformat your harddrive immediately and spare us the spam and viruses you are spewing out on behalf of others. > New does not necessarily mean better, and in many cases are much worse. In the case of Apache 1.3 - I'm individually responsible for a vast number of Windows-specific bug fixes to the very hackish attempt to run Apache using threads, instead of separate processes. It works (kinda) and I used it (past tense) myself when I was locally developing stuff on win to roll out on real boxes in production (not windows). Apache 1.3 was built for fork(). In Apache 2 we scrapped that crap. We started over designing the internals of apache to deal with threads, processes or whatever the Operating System provided us that would work effectively. A library called APR provides the most generic abstraction of these concepts that we can. So on Windows, you won't find many champions when the only source code champion (me) has effectively said aidos to 1.3 when it's running on Win. The bugs that remain in 1.3 on Windows will never be fixed. The solution to a new server on Windows is an Apache 2.something version. That is as official a word as you'll ever read.
