The freeware Apache web server runs on about half of the world's existing web sites, and it is rapidly increasing in popularity.Apache: The Definitive Guide, written and reviewed by key members of the Apache Group, is the only complete guide on the market today that describes how to obtain, set up, and secure the Apache software.
Apache was originally based on code and ideas found in the most popular HTTP server of the time: NCSA httpd 1.3 (early 1995). It has since evolved into a far superior system that can rival (and probably surpass) almost any other Unix-based HTTP server in terms of functionality, efficiency, and speed. The new version now includes support for Win32 systems. This new second edition ofApache: The Definitive Guide fully describes Windows support and all the other Apache 1.3 features. Contents include:
- The history of the Apache Group
- Obtaining and compiling the server
- Configuring and running Apache on Unix and Windows, including such topics as directory structures, virtual hosts, and CGI programming
- The Apache 1.3 Module API
- Apache security
- A complete list of configuration directives
With Apache: The Definitive Guide, web administrators new to Apache can get up to speed more quickly than ever before by working through the tutorial demo. Experienced administrators and CGI programmers, and web administrators moving from Unix to Windows, will find the reference sections indispensable. Apache: The Definitive Guide is the definitive documentation for the world's most popular web server. Includes CD-ROM with Apache manuals and demo sites discussed in the book.
