Apache2/MySQL5/PHP5

Is this a good combo?

I have seen a lot of articles talking about sticking with Apache v1.x and PHP4 for stability because of the lack of confirmation of which PHP modules may or may not be thread aware, or to at least run Apache2 in pre-fork
mode (essentially emulating v1.x).

All of these are articles are mainly from a couple years ago, but I don't see many new articles that discuss this issue.

How much, if at all, is this issue still around?

I'm building a new server and would like to run the latest version of Solaris 10 (01/06), Apache2, MySQL + PHP5, but not for sake of stability.

There will be a small store front running on it, so it needs to be stable, there won't be huge throughput, probably around 100 vistors per day or so. The storefront will be based off of osCommerce MS2.

Apache modules:
SSL
PHP
ReWrite
etc...

It will be running osCommerce on an e420r with 4x450 procs.

Thanks for the input!
