This is because I read a book which has a section "Installing Apache for Windows."no, but I prefer Apache over IIS, although Apache is a bit harder to setup.
If you're running Windows, and you do decide to use apache, use Apache 2.xOriginally posted by Uranium-235
If you're running Windows, and you do decide to use apache, use Apache 2.x Why? This is unsupported by PHP presently. Also, how many PHP web hosts are using Apache 2? Most use Apache 1.3.27. In any case, use the version of Apache your host is using in order to be sure you don't get "unforseen" problemsactually, you're wrong. PHP does support Apache2 (php4apache2.dll).
I know, I setup a W2k system with the l8test version of Ap2 and PHP.
I know of one website that is running Ap2. But then again, not every website announces what server they're running.uhh, no, he was right. I installed it with php4.3 and couldn't get it to run. php is very buggy with Apache2 and has very little support for it, at this time. I have it running now but as a cgi module and not ISAPI. so no, do not install apache2 with php4.3. they even say it is very buggy on the php.net site.
Apache2 (experimental),

But then again, not every website announces what server they're running. <?php
phpinfo();
?>Will always show you what version of Apache the server is running (as well as other useful info).eh, duh. I'm talking about websites that aren't your website
Who cares what the other web sites are running? When deciding which server to install select the server which you will be ultimately developing for.
Regards PHP, in the vast majority of cases it will be Apache 1.3.2x (probably 26 or 27).that's really odd. I know someone that runs a website /w apache2 & the l8test version of PHP and he hasen't had any problems whatsoever (and the entire site is php)you know someone so that means php will run on apache2? I don't think so. I know a lot of people that have had problems with the two working together. if there wasn't any problems I don't think php.net would say it is experimental still.
