Hi,

I want to configure a production server that uses mod_perl and I don't know
what version to choose because I see that mod_perl 2 is not stable yet.
What do you recommend, to install Apache 1.3 and mod_perl 1 and use it until
mod_perl 2 will be stable enough, or do you think that mod_perl 2 can be
enough stable in order to be used for other purposes than testing?

The programs for the production server are not ready yet, and it will take
some more months until I will need to install the production server.

Thank you.

Teddy

I'd second that, especially, given some of your earlier
messages, you're using Win32 in, at least, a development
environment. mp1 on Win32 suffers from some serious
limitations as far as threading is concerned:
  http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/os/win32/multithread.html
which has been addressed in mp2:
  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/config.html
Moreover, Apache2 itseld on Win32 is significantly faster
and more stable on Win32 (and other non-Unix platforms):
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/new_features_2_0.html
due to a larger reliance on native platform implementations.

I'd say go with mp2.0. If it helps, 2.0.0 should be out in the next two 
weeks (we have about 3-4 remaining bugs to resolve). If you encounter 
problems we fix them almost as soon as you report them, so have no fear.
