eZ publish 3.3 with Apache 2 - status?

Thursday 04 March 2004 4:41:06 am

Recently I've been faced with the same issue too, as we had to make the decision on whether we rolled out EZ to new servers running apache 2 or 1.3. The big problem seems to be a PHP/Apache issue which is supposed to effect session variables. Although I can't say for certain whether this is still an issue I wouldn't recommend it for a production server until EZ Systems make some kind of announcement to give it the all clear.

On the other hand I run it on a server used for development only and it (seems) fine.

If am using Apache 2 for production (http://www.grunderskolen.no) and everything seems to work fine (knock knock).

RedHat supply apache 2 (httpd-2.0.46-26.ent) and and php 4.3.2 (php-4.3.2-8.ent) with their Enterprise Linux product (supported).

We are currently testing eZ Publish on this platform and so far have not encounted any issues running ezPublish (though it's early days yet)

We will not recommend running eZ publish ( or any PHP application ) on Apache 2 until the PHP group says that it's stable. The main problem is that Apache 2 is using threads, but PHP is not thread safe. This means that strange things can happen when serving multiple requests. With very low load and one concurrent user this should not be a big problem, but on larger sites with much traffic you can have problems.

That beeing said: there are people running eZ publish on Apache 2, it does "work" - but we do not recomment doing this in production.
