This work offers clear and straightforward instructions for tasks ranging from basic to technical, as well as the background information required for an administrator to understand the history of the server and how best to run it in today's Web environment. It contains information on running Apache with different platforms, including UNIX-based systems like Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris; Windows products, including NT and Windows 2000; and Mac OS X. There are eight pages of blueprints which demonstrate the differences between Apache Server and IIS 5 and diagrams showing Apache running on different operating systems.
