[users@httpd] Apache 2.0 or 2.2
I am building a set of web servers that will be running both Apache 1.3.x
and a version of the 2.x branches. My question is quite simple... Which
version is recommended? Is the 2.2 branch stable enough and supported
enough or should I install 2.0 for the time being and upgrade to 2.2 in the
future?

Thank You,

If the application is "Currently" only working on Apache 1.3, then I would
keep it there.
If you are going to start "Development" today, and it takes you a while
to get the new application online. Then I would look at having the 2.x on
line also. If the technology and any bugs are present as of today, it
really is a moot issue. You do not have the application online or
ready to go yet currently.
If you want to know what is going on with 2.x then putting up a server in
a LAB environment only would be a good idea. That way you can test it
and see if the beta is going as planned, and also keep the patches up to
date so that you have a good idea on how your beta is running compared
to the 2.x version of apache.

The servers will serve two purposes.
1) Serving current applications designed for Apache 1.3 (ergo that version).
Some new development will take place in the area, but mostly in the form of
upgrading and enhancing current applications.
2) Serving new applications designed around the latest technologies. These
sites will start out in beta and eventually move into production.
So the real question is this... Assuming we development begins today on a
new application, would it be safe to work with the 2.2 branch, or are there
still too many bugs as well as a lack of supporting technologies to make
that a good choice?

The answer would be what are you trying to do?? What other applications are
you
running, are you going to use something that is only support by 1.3 or are
you
using something that is supported by 2.x also?
Why run two copies? I would pick a flavor and run it.

2.2 is the best-supported version by the developers. 2.0 probably still has
more third-party modules that work out-of-the-box. But the transition from
2.0 to 2.2 is not difficult, so upgrading a third-party module shouldn't be
more than an hours work for a programmer. And after the first one - when
you know what to expect - it'll be a five minute job.
