XAMPP, Windows, Apache 1.3, and eZ Publish

Tuesday 27 May 2008 4:52:08 pm

Reading "Requirements for doing a normal installation", I find that I need to use Apache 1.3 when running eZ Publish on Windows.

I've installed XAMPP as a PHP/MySQL localhost staging platform. It comes bundled with Apache 2.2. So I've hit my first snag. LOL.

I've looked here (http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi) and can only find the Unix Source files for 1.3.

If I want to install Apache 1.3 on Windows where do I get the 1.3 files?

Please do use Apache 2.2 on windows. It is much more stable than 1.3, and maintained too. And it has many better features/modules.

In my own experience, the php problems with multithreaded webservers are specific to a very limited set of extensions/function calls. And if you really run into one of those, you can always switch to fastcgi (useful stuff can be downloaded from apachelounge.com).

For an equivalent setup that works out of the box, you may want to checkout:

It is also free and open source.
