Apache 1.3 or 2.0 is a BIG difference....2.0 is a complete rewrite
from scratch based on a completely different structure.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/new_features_2_0.html

It´s now multithreaded and also the API for the modules is
completely new.....this is not just an upgrade...it´s a complete
different webserver.

This probably isn't what you meant, but I have it on my personal machine. I use it for script development and testing purposes. I have about half a dozen virtual hosts setup on it. So far, it's been 100% stable and I like it. With the 1.x series I would experience a lot of minor irritations with setup and performance but 2.0.43 doesn't give me any hassles.

Apache 2.x is basically an entirely different beast, so only upgrade if you can get your custom modules also for 2.x - for example, if you use mod_perl at all, you really -dont- want to go to 2.x since a lot of custom modules will plain out refuse to work, or cause some major crashage because they're not thread safe.

I know the modules issues....all I basically need is mod_rewrite,
mod_auth_mysql and php. I don´t use dynamic loaded modules.
I prefer to compile everything static in the httpd binary...all
modules I need are working under 2.0 so I don´t have any issues
with that......I guess I´m going to give it a shot.....will let you guys
know what happens
