Written in the Bible's well-known comprehensive style, this book covers the "new" release of the award-winning Apache Web Server software. This revised Bible focuses on the latest (2.0) release of the Apache Server, which has substantial changes. Like the first edition, it explains what the Apache Web Server is and how to set it up. However, this edition also covers how to make practical use of Apache. Expanded coverage includes more comprehensive coverage of the Perl programming language, new coverage on using Apache with the popular PHP Web embedded scripting language and Java servlets, and new coverage on configuring Apache with Win32. This edition will also correspond with the wildly popular Mac OS. True to the Bible series' goal, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the Apache Server and basic administration topics, such as installing Apache and getting it up and running. More advanced topics include Web server performance, URL writing techniques, and using Apache with programming languages.
This guide covers all aspects of Apache Web Server administration, focusing on deployment, configuration and management. First, it takes the reader through source compilation, binary installations and configuration issues. It then addresses advanced topics such as CGI, SSI configurations and their implications for server and security models. It alerts readers to likely risks and provides risk avoidance techniques. Finally, advanced topics include: obtaining maximum performance from the Web server; handling user authentication; monitoring; and issues related to the latest version of the HTTP protocol. The enclosed CD includes utitlities discussed in the book and third-party products to assist Apache installation and management.
