I'm curious as to what the status is of the fixed apache2handler
stuff that was discussed regarding whether or not to include it
in the 4.3 tree. I was under the impression that despite some
reluctance to include it (because it was new), it was decided to
include it because it was actually a fix.

Did it in fact make it in, and included in the 4.3.2RC1 release?

TIA.

Yes. It "replaced" sapi/apache2filter:

--with-apxs2 enables now apache2handler.

Someone requested that we leave the apache2filter there
for now..for some reason he didn't explain and I really
didn't care. :)

Excellent, thanks for the reply Jani.
I've installed PHP-4.3.2RC1 with Apache-2.0.44 and it seems to
work ok using the prefork mpm. I'm sure that'll make a lot of
people happy, though I'm not sure the combination is ready for
primetime yet.

It was me, and I did explain that apache2handler had serious bugs in the
previous versions. My reasoning is to leave apache2filter in the sources
just to be on the safe side, as it has not been heavily tested.

This said, I don't care very much about it, it's just an RC1, so we'll
have time to test it. I'll do my best, and if there are issues
remaining, I'll harass the developers ;-)

FWIW, I'v been doing some light testing here, and writing
some ab stuff to put some load on it, but at first blush
apache 2.0.44 and 4.3.2RC1 seems terribly sluggish,
particularly with the gd stuff. This could very well be
my fault.

4.3.2RC1 with apache-1.3.27 rocks.

Up to now I have been concentrating on testing every combination of PHP extensions, and every
combination of Apache modules (I even bumped into apache's maximum module limit and had to
increase it to 96). I also have three Apache versions on my system:
- Apache 1.27 + mod_php as a module
- Apache 2.0.44 + apache2filter as a module
- Apache 1.3.27 + mod_perl (static), + mod_php as a module
I finally got everything running together, and stable at last.

The next step is adding apache2handler to that setup, and benchmarking the 4 Apache+PHP
combinations.
