Yes you can, it's non trivial but entirely doable, there are various blog posts about how users have done so (using visual c toolchains). We have not due to the opacity of x64 msvcrt.dll and MS's claims that it will no longer follow K&R, C99 etc for user-space apps. Apache will consuming noticeably more memory and cpu when built for x64. You might want to investigate shrinking your stack size, if your primary goal is just to run more workers. You'll find .14 does a much better job supporting ThreadStackSize and MaxMemFree. I'll come up with something out of the box for -win32-src.zip and binaries of the Apache 2.4.x (and perhaps some beta 2.3.x). These won't be using msvcrt anymore. > Will I need to compile it?

That's about the worst thing you can do; most unix libs presume 64ILP or 64LP and the entire 64P model of win64 will really hurts compatibility; people are making progress but it's a slog. Remember that Windows x64 is not using the same processor semantics as Linux or Solaris or Darwin on x64, it is entirely its own beast. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
