Chapter 20.
Running Web Servers
To many people, the World Wide Web (WWW or
Web for short) is synonymous with the Internet. In truth, there are many other
protocols in use on the Internet, many of which are described in this book. The
Web has grown to be arguably the most visible part of the Internet, though. For
this reason, Web servers are extremely important to many organizationswithout
a Web site, a company or even an individual has very little visibility on the
Internet.Linux supports many different Web server
options, although one program (Apache) is the most common one. This chapter
therefore focuses on Apache configuration, beginning with the basic options
required to get Apache up and running. This chapter then moves on to touch upon
other topics, such as Linux kernel-based Web server extensions, forms, scripts,
secure sites, and virtual domains. This chapter also covers issues that in some
sense come before and after the Web server: generating material to serve on the
Web site and analyzing your Web site's traffic.Although it's not difficult to get a basic
Web server up and running with Linux, advanced configuration options are
complex enough that a single chapter isn't enough to cover them all. If you
need to delve into the minutiae of Web server configuration and use, you can
read your Web server's official documentation or obtain a book on the subject,
such as Engelschall's Apache Desktop Reference
(Addison Wesley, 2001) or Aulds' Linux Apache Server
Administration (Sybex, 2001). There are also books dedicated to more
specific Web server subtopics, such as Meltzer and Michalski's Writing CGI Applications with Perl (Addison Wesley,
2001).
