PHP 5.3.x and Apache 2.2
I've been a bit frustrated. The answer: Thread stinkin Safe PHP 5.3 & >, for working with Apache 2.xÂ
So I've been installing and configuring PHP & Apache together since before PHP 3 was replaced by 4. OK maybe that's a little early to start, (thats back in the days of 'Visual C++' and VB 5 & 6 for those devotees of Microsoft who will likely not read this)... but the point is I've successfully installed every version of PHP since 3 with whatever the latest version was of Apache... successfully and (excluding the learning curve that httpd.conf was in the beginning... and when I wanted more advanced web configs) without real incident or much frustration. Granted it's been maybe a bit more than a year since I've seen fit to install a new config on a new computer... and maybe that was the beginning of the problem ... I found two versions of PHP thread safe and non-thread safe... in the past I've ignored this fact and, (probably), just grabbed the files with the apache php dll in it. But not this time... I read all kinds of install guidance from people all over the internet... and I kept seeing, 'use thread safe'... or 'use V6' (btw V6 is PHP 5.2.x ... ummm no I won't be using what is now a pretty aged version of PHP). Anyway, the moral is, try what you know works first... and FOR APACHE USE NON-STINKIN-THREAD SAFE PHP (and save yourself from being annoyed once you realize it)!!!Â
