Apache Desktop Reference 1998-2000 Ralf S. Engelschall. Apache is the world-leading web server. Most webmasters who must manage and maintain an Apache server installation are already familiar with Apache, either through the online available documentation from the Apache Software Foundation ( ASF ) or through the various Apache books on the market. The purpose of this book is to provide a concise but, fairly complete reference to the various Apache knobs and levers with which the webmaster is confronted at compile time, configuration time, and runtime. Thus the audience of this book consists of webmasters who are already familiar with Apache, but who need a reference on a daily basis. This book is organized into six chapters. Chapter 1, Introduction, discusses the history and evolution of the Internet, hypertext, and the World Wide Web and describes how Apache and the ASF fit into this world. This chapter is intended to provide a quick reference to historical Apache-related numbers and introduce the Apache world. Chapter 2, Apache Functionality, considers the Apache program architecture, which consists of a core part ( a program kernel ) and various extensional modules. A concise reference to the standard Apache modules follows this discussion. This chapter is intended to provide a compact overview of the Apache module world. Chapter 3, Building Apache, covers building the Apache package from the distributed source codes. It first shows a typical Apache installation procedure step by step, then provides a reference to all Apache Autoconf-style Interface ( APACI ) options, and finally discusses some special configuration issues like the Dynamic Shared Object ( DSO ) facility. This chapter is intended to help you install a reasonable Apache instance. Chapter 4, Configuring Apache, focuses on the runtime configuration of Apache. It introduces the gory details of the Apache configuration files and contexts, then includes a complete reference of all configuration directives provided by all standard Apache modules ( the configuration directives that Apache provides to both the webmaster, in the global server configuration files, like httpd.conf, and users, in the per-directory configuration files, as the .htaccess file ). This chapter is the heart of this book.
