Hmm, so that partially excludes PHP. |

Some of the early Apache2+PHP releases weren't stable at all, I will |
18 |
agree with that, but the more recent ones have been very good. Esp. |
19 |
since Apache froze their API making things somewhat easier. |

I _do_ run them in production enviroments. I've seen a big performance |
22 |
increase by using Apache2 there. Before deploying on production |
23 |
enviroments, I go thru a lot of work to test stuff throughly, including |
24 |
running Apache2 on the development and prototyping machines for at least |
25 |
a month. Presently we have been using Apache2 for about 6 months in |
26 |
production enviroments, and we have recently (2 weeks ago) rolled MySQL4 |
27 |
out to production use. |

Yeah, it doesn't solve the problem, but it does stop the Apache from |
34 |
taking out the entire server. It caused OOM conditions in some of my |
35 |
boxes when it did that. |
