Here's my current setup:
RedHat 8.0, Apache 2.0, mySQL 3.23, PHP 4.2.2

my situation is that I'm running some forums on the site and when a page of them is refreshed, it doesn't reload data from the mySQL database, but rather displays a cached version of it. It is happening to everyone, not just me. If i do CTRL+F5, it'll display the right data, or if i clear out my temp files, it'll work also...for that view. If i go back to that page, it'll display the cached version again. It's not a browser problem b/c the main site doesn't have that issue. I read up some on apache 2.0 and it seems it's not completely ready/stable yet, even though it's been out for a while. I'm kinda thinking that this caching problem maybe related to it. So I want to uninstall apache 2.0 and install 1.3 using:

rpm -e apache-2.0......
rpm -i apache-1.3......

would there be any negative side effects to this? theoretically, it should work fine....i'd just need to reconfigure httpd.conf, which is fine. And also, i guess if anyone would know how to solve the caching issue, just feel free to let me know :)

Has this always been a problem, or did it start recently? Personally, I'm betting that it's an Apache problem, since neither mySQL or PHP should be doing it. If you try 1.3 and it doesn't work, you can always switch back, too.

Well, I just got the server hosted last friday night and the nameserver change finished propogating saturday evening. Ever since i moved it there, it has been doing it. Before that, it was sitting in my room as i set it up and configured it. I think it gave similar errors, but it was difficult to tell b/c I had to work around the whole no valid domain for the server yet.

btw, this is the website if anyone wants to look at it and see:

thanks again for ya'lls help. I may try uninstalling apache2 and installing 1.3 tonight to see if that fixes it.

One thing I would do, is backup my configurations for the package that I was removing.

So before you remove Apache2, save your configurations, tar 'em up and put them off to the side.

If I've learned anything, it's to backup, backup and always backup.

ya, definately. I have my whole /etc directory tar and gzip to two backup drives every night. :) Can't have too many backups.

Well, it turns out I didn't have to install apache 1.3. It seems that there was an issue with the header declaration of phpbb and it not working correctly with apache 2.0. So I went in and fixed that, and there ya go, it works like a champ.

Thanks for ya'lls help. :)
