Is Apache 2.0 pretty big or is 1.3 still the way to go?

When I ran a web server a few years ago, 1.3 was the big thing, despite 2.0 being newer. Is that still the case, or is everybody migrating to 2.0?

i've been using 2.0 (albeit for personal use) for quite some time and have had no problems.

Most production Apache servers on Linux are on 1.3.xx.. but for Windows, I think 2.x is recommended? I'm still using 1.3.xx on Windows for development purposes though

I'm not sure what the consensus is about this :confused:

I beleive on linux there are still threading issues with php and apache 2. But on windows you should use apache 2.

Excellent, 1.3 it is. I'll be running Apache with PHP, along with some other stuff. Thanks!

I avoid apache 2 because:
My OS of choice comes with a modified Apache 1.3.
The Apache 2 license is icky, and I don't want to pay a lawyer to understand it.
I'd still use the old forking method over the threading stuff anyhow.
