It might be ok with the security guys if the builds were released as official builds from the ASF courtesy of the apachelounge. I agree for personal development use, apachelounge might be ok. I have used them for local development in the past and was happy with them. I think many companies will need some sort of industry support (an accredited organization like the ASF) behind the binaries. They can't come from some dude's website for web server enthusiasts. That level of risk is not acceptable. I talked to Zend and their PHP 5.3 versions of Zend Server include a VC9 compiled Apache, so that may be the direction we go. We are exploring our other options as well. Thanks for all the good info! -Logan On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 6:09 PM, Pierre Joye <pierre.php@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 10:10 PM, Logan L <lists@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > From a security perspective, using the ApacheLounge binaries is not an > > option for us.
