cPanel and Apache 2.2

We are rolling out a new server next week which will have have Apache 2.2 running on it. All of our current servers are running Apache 1.3 and have been for a long time. cPanel has just finally started to support Apache 2.x and it will be on our new servers moving forward.

Apache 2.2 is a more robust, reliable and secure build to the current 1.3. It will also give us an opportunity to start testing the subversion modules of cPanel with customers.

Wait I am a current customer and want these new features!?!

If you want to jump onto to this server (like Matt) to make use of the new features then you can open a ticket with the helpdesk on Friday (Nov 9) to be migrated over.

Our current servers running 1.3 will be upgraded in 2008 when we do the move from PHP 4 to 5.

    Sweet!

    Subversion will be pretty sweet.

    Will PHP 5 be default on this server?

    Now, how about MySQL 5? :P

    (and yes, you called me on that, expect a ticket from me on Friday :D )

    PHP 5 will be cgi add-on.

    MySQL 5 will be a long time from now. We tested it with Fantastico scripts and it blows up almost everything.

    Well, at least it won’t be long before it’ll be default…

    Hmm… interesting…

    Is the new server in Vancouver or Montreal (or elsewhere, just curious)?

    Also, when should I send in the ticket on Friday, anytime, and how long do you approximate it would take to be moved to the new server?

    It is in Montreal.

    You can submit it whenever you want. We will wait until the server is 100% before moving you.
