Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The Apache Web server is one of the most fascinating success stories in the Internet software business. This open-source product has arguably become the most used Web server on the Net. Apache Server Unleashed offers traditional documentation of this unconventional product.
A key aspect of Apache is its modularity. Webmasters are free to custom-build Apache installations that precisely fit their needs by compiling only the software modules they want. The authors do a good job of exploring these possibilities but still manage to present the material in an organized, topical manner. They take a little time along the way to delve into some key related technologies such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI), cookies, Perl, and Personal Home Page (PHP)--a very popular server-side scripting language frequently used to add the smarts to Apache applications.
The chapters are all rather bite-size, making this book easy to digest for those with scattered chunks of reading time. To get the most from Apache, a solid understanding of C programming is a must. Even so, this book offers much for the nonprogrammer interested in learning about Apache. Included is a CD-ROM containing the source code for the Apache 1.3.9 release, as well as several third-party utilities like Comanche--a key administration tool. If you have experience with commercial Web servers and are curious what all the fuss is about with Apache, this title offers a well-rounded look at the hottest Web server around. --Stephen W. Plain
Topics covered: Installation, server configuration files, configuration with Comanche, MIME types, proxy and cache server use, CGI programming, server-side includes, cookie implementation, security and auditing, authentication, logging, Apache modules, Perl module, PHP module, and Apache API.

Best of the Bunch,
By A Customer
This review is from: Apache Server Unleashed (Paperback)
This is by far the best, most "up to date" book on the market. Most of the other "big" titles available were published Jan of 1999 right before Apache made big changes in its configuration, making those books seem dated. The content is fresh, easy to understand and comprehensive. A definite must read for anyone interested in using Apache Server.

Great reference book,
This review is from: Apache Server Unleashed (Paperback)
This book is clear, precise and concise. It will teach you how to set and administer Apache easily. If you need answers here the author spelled them out. Also is the closest match to the current release (1.3.12) - Book covers (1.3.9).Highly recommended.
