Topic: Apache 2
I do NOT recommend using Apache 2 with PHP. So far, I have only encountered problems with this combination. There are a number of unresolved incompabilies in the PHP 4 module for Apache which are being worked on, but until they are fixed, I strongly recommend that you use Apache 1.3.* instead.
If you decide to use Apache 2 anyway, at least make sure that you are using a PHP version that was released after the Apache 2 version you are running.
