Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
More than 50 percent of all web servers are running on "free" Apache software. The software is very good, and this is exactly the type of book users will need after they have downloaded it and are starting to try to set up their servers. An advanced beginner can use this book and the Apache software to get a server up very quickly. The CD-ROM offers plenty of tools and accessories.
Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Product Description
Over the last three years, Apache has quickly distinguished itself as one of the fastest and most efficient Web servers around. No wonder over half the worlds Internet-based Web administrators use it today. If youre less than satisfied with your current servers performance, perhaps you should consider switching to Apache, too. Need more information? Apache Server Bible is the perfect place to start. Regardless of your Web site administration experience (or lack thereof), Apache Server Bible can help get your server up and running in no time. The extensive step-by-step instructions and real-world examples provide a fundamental understanding of Apache and walk you through every important phase, from installing Apache and customizing it to producing multi-host Web networks and building virtual Web sites.

Open the CD-ROM and youll find a wide array of essential resources, including the server code, binary distributions for Apache Server and Perl, and several utilities such as MOMSpider, Wwwstat, CGIWrap, and ePerl. There are also evaluation copies of Wusage 6 and WebTrends Professional Suite.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dry lists of configurations settings, a lot of errors., August 30, 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book based on the great reviews here at Amazon. I don't have a clue why reviewers here thought it was so good. I should have known better and bought the O'Reilly book to start.

Most of the text consists of dry run throughs of various configuration settings - much of which probably came right from the online Apache manual. There were many errors. And, contrary to reviewers who claimed the author was open for questions, when I sent email asking about possible errata, the email was returned with an invalid address. The author's web site is also gone.

I also was unhappy that there was next to nothing about Java servlets and Apache.

The O'Reilly book got so-so reviews, but I can't imagine how it can be worse than this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Find something better, January 16, 2000
By A Customer
This is a 600-page tome that gives you just enough information to make you very dangerous, and a bunch of non-sensical dialog that could have been left out. The book is also full of embarrassing errors and glaring contradictions. My favorite, in the mod_perl section is, "...when using mod_perl to run CGI scripts you cannot use ScriptAlias" followed very shortly by "You should also have a ScriptAlias directive..." The author probably knows a lot about Apache, but unfortunately is ineffective at teaching, a drawback particularly for novices reading his book. Too much is left out of this book, and too much is erroneous for you to put your put your faith in it. Try a more professional outfit, like O'Reilly's Apache: The Definitive Guide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite enough, October 17, 2000
By Robert Corley (Ellicott City, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My requirements: Apache+SSL+PHP

This book does cover some fundamental concepts but provides too few examples (especially in the areas of installation and getting SSL up and running). I had to refer to the website more often than the book.

Good, but not good enough.
