Via PHP Magazine today, there's a pointer to a new article over on Linux.com about making the move from Apache 1.3.x up to Apache 2 and what all that means.

In a new article on linux.com, "Apache 2 offers a number of new features and improvements over the Apache 1.3 series, but the upgrade can seem daunting to those who haven't had much (or any) experience with Apache 2. I recently had to go through an upgrade from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.0 on Debian Sarge, and it's not as difficult as you might think.

Despite some differences in the configurations of the two versions of Apache, the upgrade can be a surprisingly smooth process if you plan well. This assumes that you already have Apache 1.3 installed on Debian Sarge, have root access to the server, and have one or more sites configured as virtual hosts in your /etc/apache/httpd.conf file."

It's not overly long of an article, mostly just because there's really not that much of a difference between the configuration of the two. It's when you add in other things, like PHP, that some of the problems can arrise...
