Dear Apache 1.3,

Please hurry up and return to the circle of Hell reserved for obsolete software from the days of the cryptography Cold War and do please take your friends mod_perl 1 and mod_ssl with you. Fucking aargh.

no love,
me.

p.s.: GOATSEING PIGFELCHER.

p.p.s.: You compiled the install path into the httpd binary. I SAW WHAT YOU FUCKING DID THERE.

You have no idea of the complexity of some companies' codebases' dependencies on mod_perl 1...

[reddragdiva]

You know, it's possible I just might, considering I have to bother to do this.

(Clue: the real web server is Apache 2.2, which has been perfectly lovely. Except SSL, of course, which still felches goatse pigs. They then proxypass the 1.3 server to show up on the 2.2 server.)

apache 1.3 isnt really that bad. however once mod_perl touches it. it all goes horribly horribly worng.

some of the 2.2 defaults can be really quite annoying. altough in general i do prefer it.

When I finally switched everything to apache 2, I felt so much better.

And they deserve what they get, IMO. Did it not occur to anyone that apache+perl == maintainability nightmare at the time?

What I have learned this passed week:

Apache 2.2 + PHP5 + mySQL 5.1.22 = luv

Admittedly, I'm not a coder, but from a hosting admin standpoint, I've never had a setup install and configure and work with eachother as smoothly and effortlessly as these guys have been.

Yeah, the cock isn't quite as huge and has smaller barbs.

DRAGGING THEM KICKING AND WHINGING INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY AND AWAY FROM THEIR STEAMPUNK WEB SERVER.
