Preface
Welcome to Apache Server Bible. Chances are you have already heard about Apache Server. In fact, more than 50 percent of Internet-based Web administrators are using Apache all around the world. However, despite its widespread use, there aren't many books on administering Apache Server Yes, 1 have been to the bookstores, and having seen what is out there, I feel that none of the available titles are geared toward Web administrators. I have seen one that talks more about the internals of Apache (C code) than how to make use of Apache itself; another book devotes a large portion to HTML. This book is meant for anyone who is interested in administering Apache and focused on getting the most out of Apache. So if you want to become a master Apache administrator, you found the magic wand. Use it!
Is This Book for You?
This book will benefit anyone interested in learning how to administer an Apache Web Server. Because the book does not assume any previous Web administration experience, it is suitable for just about anyone. Unlike many Web server books, this book only deals with a single topic — the Apache Web Server
The text focuses on the administration aspects of the Apache Web Server It walks you through source compilation, binary installations, and configuration issues in the early chapters, so you can get the server up and running right away and at the same time understand what is being done each step of the way.
The book then focuses on more advanced issues such as the SSI, CGI, and FastCGI configurations and their impact on the server and its security model. You will be introduced to the risks involved and how to minimize these risks using various techniques. More advanced topics include Web server performance enhancement, user authentication, monitoring, and issues such as URL rewriting techniques, embedding Perl interpreter within Apache, and using the Secured Socket Layer
