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?

Arf, I guess Linux is also the recommendation from eZ Systems.

In my opinion, I suggest you, if it is possible, to install either a linux host or a virtual machine (cheaper).

By the way, for your Apache 1.3, it will be difficult to get the sources of this version : Apache Fundation doesn't support it anymore, this is due to performance and stability issues on Windows.

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:

http://bitnami.org/stack/ezpublish

It is also free and open source.
