VC15 notes:
VC15 is backward compatible to VC14. That means, a VC14 module can be used inside a VC15 binary (for example PHP VC14 as module). Because this compatibility the version number of the Redistributable is 14.1x.xx and after you install, the Redistributable VS2015 is updated from 14.0x.xx to VS2017 14.1x.xx (you can still use VC14).

Documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/

When you have hangs, slow traffic and/or when having in your log entries like Asynchronous AcceptEx failed. You can try the following settings:

AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none
EnableSendfile off
EnableMMAP off

Enjoy,

------------------------ ASF Announcement ---------------------

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.27 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is our latest GA release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and represents fifteen years of innovation by the project, and is recommended over all previous releases. This release of Apache is a security, feature, and bug fix release.

We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

Of particular note in this release are 3 COMPATIBILITY items:

•HTTP/2 will not be negotiated when using the Prefork MPM
•FastCGI compatibility with PHP-FPM is fixed
•mod_lua no longer exports the undocumented and unsupported apr_table variable.
