Apache HTTP Server

2017-11-03 09:05:03

The Apache HTTP server, maintained by the Apache Software Foundation, is currently the most popular Web server because of its stability, cost, efficiency and portability. It is an open-source software (i.e., its source code is freely available) that runs on UNIX, Linux and Windows platforms.

To download the Apache HTTP server, visit httpd.apache.org.[2] For instructions on installing Apache, visit www.deitel.com or httpd.apache.org. If the Apache HTTP server is installed as a service, then it is already running after installation. Otherwise, start the server by selecting the Start menu, then All Programs > Apache HTTP Server 2.0.52 > Control Apache Server > Start. To stop the Apache HTTP server, select Start > All Programs > Apache HTTP Server 2.0.52 > Control Apache Server > Stop. For Linux users, we put instructions on how to start/stop the Apache HTTP server and run the examples at our Web site, www.deitel.com.

[2] In this chapter, we use version 2.0.52.
