Talk:Apache HTTP Server
From Academic Kids
Httpd redirects here. why? -- Tarquin 18:32 Jan 18, 2003 (UTC)
On linux systems the http server is known as the http daemon (ie resident program). It is usually apache. Hence you would use httpd to start apache, and it is reasonable (though not essential) for that page to redirect here. Hope that helps. Mat-C 03:13, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I've removed "has been criticized for its lack of GUI tools to aid in its configuration" as several GUIs are now available, of which some are listed at http://gui.apache.org/.
Considering that some of these GUIs are most excellent and useable software, and that if you add to this list all the ISP management software such as 42go (http://www.projektfarm.com/en/), Apache could be considered to be very well supported GUI wise.

I have organized the article into simple sections, which I derived entirely from the existing content. I believe each of these can be modified and expanded. Specifically, I want to take a crack at adding more information on modules, the ways in which Apache is commonly used (including popular combos like Apache/Tomcat), and a reworking of the history section. Commentary on these changes is welcome. Vector4F 03:59, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
