Topic: Any benefits moving to Apache 2.4.x from 2.2.x?

[octoberasian]

This probably gets asked a lot but is there any benefit moving from Apache 2.2.x to 2.4.x?

The only issues I have so far are because of two modules that only work in 2.4.x:

• mod_wsgi - Python 2.3+ module
  
• mod_f4http - Flash media streaming (FLV, MP4) module from Adobe
  

My system is the following:
Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
16GB RAM
Apache 2.2.24
PHP 5.5.14
MySQL 5.6.28

My home web server currently can support PHP, Perl, ASP (proxypass to IIS server), CGI and Python pages. It is also linked to a Subsonic server via proxypass for music and video streaming over the internet so I have access to them whenever I'm away from home.

Note: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/

The mod_wsgi website says it's compatible with Apache 2.4 in both UNIX-based and Windows operating systems. Not to sound harsh, but it's a lie. I have yet to be able to get the module working in Apache 2.4 without it throwing a hissy fit on me in error logs. So, I ended up downgrading back to 2.2.x.

If someone knows how to properly compile it for Apache 2.4.x, it'll be greatly appreciated. I have Visual Studio 2012 installed with Windows 8 SDK.

That would leave the mod_f4http.so module left but that's up to Adobe to update it, which they haven't. This module is for streaming media from a Flash media server (Adobe Flash Media Server), which I'm still trying to get working. It's sole purpose is to stream video from my web cam or Xsplit, thereby sidestepping using Twitch.tv and Ustream to do so.

Thank you.
