I hadn't planned to package 2.x because its native win32 version would be significantly faster with a thread MPM than a Cygwin port.

OK, my reason for asking was because I currently have apr and apr-util packages pending, so if anyone was to package Apache 2, I'd need to co-ordinate with them.

My understanding is that the Cygwin port of Apache 1.x is also significantly slower than the native Apache 1.x but this didn't stop people from wanting a Cygwin version of 1.x. Or is there something in 2.x (this thread MPM thing) that would make a Cygwin port of Apache 2.x much, much slower than the native one? BTW: Thanks for volunteering for this.

You're correct that 1.x also suffers a performance penalty compared to the native win32 version. However 1.x can only operate in the prefork mode which is not suitable to Windows since process creation is relatively expensive. Thus both versions are pokey. However, with the advent of 2.x the method of allocating workers is modular (the MPM) and so you can choose to have them as threads or as the old prefork style, among others. With threads the performance under Windows is much improved. I suspect (but have not tested) that the Cygwin overhead would be even more apparent in that case, because 2.x has been specifically designed to get good performance under win32 natively, whereas 1.x was never intended for such systems. As far as I know the popularity of Cygwin Apache is for developing and testing web applications that will eventually reside on unix servers. In that department 1.x is more popular by a huge margin due to its stability, known quirks, and ability to work well with non-thread-safe PHP extensions (as well as general stubbornness of sysadmins who avoid 2.x.) Thus demand for 1.x/Cygwin should naturally be much higher as well. If you're actually interested in running a server then the native version is probably better. > BTW: Thanks for volunteering for this.

When you start Apache you can specify how many subprocesses to run. Thus start up can be expensive. And I know that Apache will start new processes if need be - presumably if you have a lot of hits. But for us relatively low hit guys I think we can live with the once in a while [re]startup costs of Apache and the occasional additional sluggishness when Apache needs to allocate another subprocess on those rare times when our site is getting a lot of hits. > Thus both versions are pokey.

Win 98 is still wildly more popular than NT+ versions. People are slow and reluctant to change. That shouldn't stop progress though IMHO. > Thus demand for 1.x/Cygwin should naturally be much higher as well. If > you're actually interested in running a server then the native version > is probably better. 'Cept for ease of configuration (OK, it's not that more difficult in the native version) and the part I like, the ability to symlink things which the native version lacks. I had run my site on XP using Cygwin and Apache. For a while I ran the native version. Then switched to the Cygwin version, then eventually to the native version to use 2.x. Then I got a Linux box and stuck a 200 Gig drive in it. The pull of having that much web space available and reliability of Linux and my just feeling more comfortable with the Unix/Linux environment made it a natural decision to migrate to Linux and use Apache 2.x there so that's what I have now. And with it I've been able to configure mod_php (and prefer that environment my web development) and even WebDAV which I use in conjunction with Mozilla's remote calenders as well as use some Linux/PHP style web apps like Gallery and MovableType effortlessly. But often, at work, the client has only Windows boxes. The ability to install Cygwin and get Apache running on Cygwin allows me to quickly develop useful web apps and other things for the client, often amazing them that their Windows boxes can do such things! Hence my interest in getting Apache and mod_php working under Cygwin again and having a 2.x environment would be best as it closely emulates my home environment where I often work out ideas, etc. Alas my current client has become pigheaded and has disallowed the usage of "unauthorized" software such as Cygwin so currently I'm stuck. But I'm hoping that will change. >> BTW: Thanks for volunteering for this. Does this mean that a Cygwin >> version of mod_php would be working again? > > Yes, I intend to do that.

There's also the issue of switching context between processes vs. threads. On a heavily loaded server the thread model should be much more efficient under Windows. However as you point out on a lightly loaded server it's all academic as the difference would be nearly undetectable. > Would you suspect that you could get Apache 2.x to use threads under Cygwin?

Perhaps this should be moved to cygwin-apps (which Brian, as all other maintainers, will have to subscribe to anyway), but one more point while we're on the subject of Apache: maybe it's time to revisit the apache postinstall procedure (both the rebase issue and the /var/www one).

Yes, I'd planned to redo all that. The manual will go into /usr/share/doc/apache so that it can be sanely upgraded, instead of in the docroot next to the user's stuff. Also use a postinstall to copy over sample config if not exists, instead of this /etc/apache.new business. The other thing that needs attention is this libphp4.dll and rebasing. It's really ugly currently: the dll is included in the package as /usr/lib/apache/new/libphp4.dll and copied over manually by apxs in the postinstall, which also tries to rebase. Both will fail if there's an existing (in-use) dll, and it also means the package manifest is wrong, causing cygcheck to always report a broken package. What I'd really like to do is let setup.exe deal with replacing the dll if it's in use, and relocate libphp4.dll before packaging to work with the default set of libs so no rebase is necessary. Then it's just a matter of adding the LoadModule lines to httpd.conf in postinstall if they're not there already.
