Tony Wood	Monday 21 April 2003 10:16:11 am I have spent some time with eZ3 and RH 9. (Redhat 9 comes with Apache 2, mySQL 3 and php 4.2.2, PostgreSQL 7.3.2) Overall I found most things worked and played with compiling php 4.3.1, which seemed to work well with RH9 and ran the eZ test code without a hitch. I used a compiled version of PHP (4.3.1) but found this notice in the PHP site "Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment neither on Unix nor on Windows." http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php So if you are thinking of going to RH9 i'd wait unless you remove Apache 2.0 and install Apache 1 for now. So maybe just stick with RH 7.3 and wait till RH 9.1 comes out. I hope this helps Tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

Sten Thorstensen	Tuesday 22 April 2003 12:54:53 am Yes, this is correct, and we're aware of the comment from PHP. We are still using mostly Apache 1.3, but have done quit some testing on Apache 2.0. We're also having several servers here that have been running Apache 2 with PHP/eZ publish for a long time, and we havn't noticed any big problems yet so if you do want to use RH9 with Apache 2 (wich is default), I think that should work out very well.

Tony Wood	Tuesday 22 April 2003 1:44:48 am Thanks for the info. As eZ3 now requires a compiled version on Redhat, could you publish the recommended ./configure command for PHP 4.3.1 for Apache 2 and Apache 1 to support mySQL and PostgreSQL. We used ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr --with-ttf --with-gd -enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-trans-sid --enable-inline-optimization --includedir=/usr --with-zlib=/usr --with-layout=GNU --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --with-ssl --with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos/include/ --with-pgsql but i would like to hear your recommendation.

I have spent some time with eZ3 and RH 9.
(Redhat 9 comes with Apache 2, mySQL 3 and php 4.2.2, PostgreSQL 7.3.2)

Overall I found most things worked and played with compiling php 4.3.1, which seemed to work well with RH9 and ran the eZ test code without a hitch.

I used a compiled version of PHP (4.3.1) but found this notice in the PHP site
"Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment neither on Unix nor on Windows."
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php

So if you are thinking of going to RH9 i'd wait unless you remove Apache 2.0 and install Apache 1 for now. So maybe just stick with RH 7.3 and wait till RH 9.1 comes out.

I hope this helps

Tony
