Focusing on the open-source Web server Apache--the most widely used platform for Web services--the author walks readers through the entire task of installing, configuring, and maintaining Apache on Linux as well as Windows NT/2000 platforms. Along with an introduction to all of Apache's newest tools and features such as WebDAV, this book clearly explains how to plan for hardware and software requirements, how to publish Web content, and how to maintain and troubleshoot the server once it's installed.
