Sir,
Thank you for the whippy answers!
Looks like I should stick with the Apache 1.3.x version as well. Received this message:
"Apache 2.2 is probably not good to upgrade to, because it's new threading code will not be liked by php5 unless a prefork (i.e. before "big code change/split") option is selected for that (MPM). However, I would recommend upgrading Apache to latest 1.3.x version and install "worker MPM" (
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/worker.html) for performance boost"
