Mapserver/Mapscript and Apache 2.x

Farley -

I (and others, I'm sure) have been running MapServer 4.x on Apache 2.x
on Linux without trouble, and I use it quite heavily.  I suspect you may
be thinking of issues around PHP MapScript and Apache involving PHP 5
(as opposed to PHP 4, which is well-supported).  I'm not a MapScript
user, so I can't give more detailed comments, but the "issues" I think
you're thinking of are limited to a fairly narrow subset of the scenario
described.  MapServer and MapScript with Apache on Linux configurations
are pretty well-used across the board.

I have heard that there have been issues in the past with Apache 2.x and
Mapserver/Mapscript on Linux.

Is this still true, or would this be a stable combination at this time?
