Hi,

I tried several months ago and it did not work out. I'm not exactly sure what benefits 2.4 has, but at least in my case, I see no reason to go to it. 2.2 is still being maintained, security holes are still being fixed, syntax of the conf files do not change, and mod_perl works with it.

In Ubuntu, in the default repositories, I think they are staying with the 2.2 branch, probably because of the aforementioned reasons. The syntax of the configuration files are really frustrating, because the results seem to be exactly the same. You just have to spend a couple hours learning how to make it behave in the exact same way that you already had it working, so hey, I mean, it's just your time, why copy over the old version when you can spend several hours reading documentation that you will forget in two weeks..

I mean, appreciate free awesome software though. shrug
