Is the configuration of apache 2 > much different? The configuration and administration is basically the same - you have httpd.conf, .htaccess files, and most of the same directives. The major changes are the MPMs (which you can probably safely ignore - there's one which is just the same as 1.3), and the Filters. The latter is genuinely useful, because it enables a whole new class of extensions, and enables some major cleanups, like handling of SSI and SSL that isn't a ghastly hack as they were before. If I may blow my own trumpet, I could suggest a look at http://www.webthing.com/software/mod_accessibility/ for an example of the kind of thing that works nicely with 2.0 but simply couldn't be done with 1.3. The comparison with Betsie could almost be a comparison of the two Apache versions, as most of the differences are direct consequences of the 2.0 architecture. -- Nick Kew We're so advanced here ... our nearest main road is A 386 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
