14.1. Apache HTTPD ServerAn Introduction
Apache is
in itself just a simple web server. It was designed with the goal of
serving web pages. Some commercial web servers have tried to pack
many different features into a web server product, but such
combination products tend to be open to substantial numbers of
security vulnerabilities. The simplicity and modular design of the
Apache HTTPD server brings a more secure product, and its track
record especially when compared to other web servers shows it to be a
stable and robust product.This is not to say that Apache servers are incapable of providing
dynamic content to users. There are many Apache modules that can be
integrated to provide an almost infinite number of new features.
Add-on products, such as PHP and mod_perl, can
be used to create powerful web applications and generate dynamic web
content. This chapter, however, will concentrate on the configuration
of Apache itself. Here, we will discuss how to build and configure an
Apache HTTPD web server and look at the different options that can be
used to build a stable and secure web server.
