Apache Administrators Handbk

I'm finding this book to be a great help to be introduced to the Apache Server. I'm using it for a class and have found it to be a great piece along with my lectures. It is a little outdated, but the concepts are still good, so that helps. Plus the author adds a bit of humor, which is nice.

Whether you're a System Admin or Developer, the Apache Administrator's Handbook will help you understand how to build and administer Apache, as well as help you understand how it works. I've read many books on Apache, and this is by far, one of the best.

Knowing little about web servers and nothing about Apache, I was looking for some detailed help installing and configuring Apache. The online docs were no help. I needed something that would explain, at a basic level, what needed to be done to get Apache going.I found this book very helpful in setting up my server. It covered everything about installing and configuring Apache. Config files were explained in detail. Integration with perl and php were wll covered. I also found the chapters on Security and logging helpful as well.This book is geared toward Unix servers but also contains specific information for the Win32 crowd. I highly recommend this book.
