    Hello people

    I am looking for a binary installation of Apache 2.0 with prefork MPM for Windows
    Does anyone know where I can download it?
    I'd rather not go into compiling it myself if I can help it, so any help would be appreciated

    thanks

    last i checked fork is a unix/linux only threading C function


    if you have a windows server just stick with IIS, its quite good if you lock it down well

    I actually found the following which might be useful to other users:
    Under Windows, every Apache implementation is thread-based and not processed based
    Apache 2.0.55 is not thread-safe in windows but unless you have a lot of concurrent threads, this problem is rarely encountered
    In Linux, Apache 1.3 is process based and thus causes no problem, but Apache 2.0.55 is thread-based but problematic.
    prefork MPM is only relavant to Linux and it doesn't come in the standard Apache 2.0.55 installation. One needs to compile it
