Hi all, long time reader, first time poster, please be gentle.

I maintain (or not it seems) an old WebServer 2008 box in a DC running Apache 2.2.17/PHP 5.4.4.0/MySql 5.1.54.

Recently performance issues have forced my hand to tidy it up a bit, so I just updated PHP, and cleaned up the MySql Server. MySql is running very nicely now, so unsure if I will make the leap to 5.5, but have been studying it up in anticipation.

Anyhow, the Apache instance is spiking CPU 5-25%, so I figured an upgrade first, then I'll dig deeper into why. Unfortunately times have left me behind, and being pretty nooby with apache, I'm leery of making the leap to 2.4, though it seems this is the way to go? Also the current server was installed via MSI, whereas everything is zip now?

it only runs a small gaming site and a passworded ebook library, so I am game to kill it in the process of learning something with a bit of guidance.

Firstly the downloads confuse me somewhat, this is the PHP I have 5.4.4.0 VC9 x86 Thread Safe (2015-Apr-15 23:09:3Cool

Does this mean I use VC9 Apache from here?

Apache 2.4.12 Win32 - Same as the Win32 VC10, but build with VC9 x86

Note the server is Webserver2008 64bit with VC11 installed.

The MySQL Server is also 64bit, so maybe I can use this one?

Apache 2.4.12 Win64

Anyhow, any thoughts or tips greatly appreciated, the plan right now is to remove apache 2.2, install a fresh copy of 2.4, then try to understand the new configs and add our files back to it.

If you want to use PHP as module then you have to use the apache binaries compiled with VC9. If you use mod_fcgid it doesn't matter at all.

There is a tutorial how to install apache with PHP http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394

if you still have a question please ask here again.
