Apache Summary

Apache: The Definitive Guide by Ben Laurie

The freeware Apache Web server runs on about half of the world's existing Web sites (in 2000), and it is rapidly increasing in popularity. This text, written and reviewed by key members of the Apache Group, is a complete guide describing 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 second edition of Apache: 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; and a complete demo of a sample Website. Included is a CD-ROM with Apache manuals and demo sites discussed in the book.

Apache Reviews

'Co-authored by Ben Laurie, one of the elite of programmers who code Apache, this really is the definitive text on how to get and use the Apache Web Server.... This is a clear road map for anyone considering setting up an Apache web server and an indispensable reference for all Apache users.' - Pat Crawford, Computer Bulletin, May 2000 'I have no reason to doubt its claim as the definitive guide and the 2nd edition is probably justified. If your intention is to use Apache, then Lauries' book is probably not just definitive, but essential. It takes the reader through from the design of the simplest possible 'hello world' site to a complex application involving on-line forms etc.' - Joe McCool, Cvu, January 2000
