and 1 or more good reason to stay with apache 1.x ?

Probably one of the reasons is when you need a feature or module only available in apache 2.xx. A good example is Free web hosts who want to use mod_ext_filter which is available under apache 2.xx but not under 1.xx. I am reluctant to upgrade and I am trying to use mod_layout (available for apache 1.xx) which is good and does the same job to insert forced ads in free hosted sites, but in our case and for one of our sites htttp://www.freeonlinehost.com , we are still testing as it has issues with php scripts using compression (ob_start, ob_gzhandler, zlib...).Radio_Head said:Anyone can write here 1 or more good reasons to upgrade to apache2.x

Could you give us examples on how you can hack sites running on apache 1.3 in seconds and where/how apache 2 would make these methods impossible?Spiral said:Not to mention the increases in security. I hope you realize that the
time it takes me to hack and / or crash sites running Apache 1.3.x
is in a matter of mere seconds and I really would not recommend
anyone using Apache 1.x anymore.
Hacking apache 1.3x servers and crashing them in seconds I find a bit metaphoric, may be in minutes if the server is completely open. If Spiral gives you examples, he/she will be inviting every script kiddie lurking round here to have a go. Speaking generally is probably safer or PM him/her about that.jamesbond said:Could you give us examples on how you can hack sites running on apache 1.3 in seconds and where/how apache 2 would make these methods impossible?
