Apache Cookbook

by Rich Bowen, Ken Coar

This "cookbook" collects time-saving recipes in one convenient place, providing 200 solutions to problems commonly faced with Apache Web Server versions 2. 0 and 2. 2. Every recipe comes from real-life situations, encountered either by the authors or by people who have asked for their help. Topics range from basic compilation of the source code to complex problems involving the treatment of URLs that require SSL encryption. The recipes are geared to two major platforms: UNIX (such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris) and Windows. There are also many recipes that have no platform-specific aspects. Most case examples of code are in the form of excerpts from scripts, rather than actual application code. Coar is responsible for fielding e-mail sent to the Apache project; his experience with that mailing list provided a foundation for this book. Bowen works on the documentation for Apache Web server.

Reviews

[Derek Bridge]

The idea is a good one and unique among books on the Apache web server. Each section is a HOW-TO, thus focusing on practical issues, rather than being an exhaustive manual. However, mostly the issues addressed are only the 'easy' ones. The book is already a bit dated too.

[Matheus Pedro]

Os exemplos relacionados à segurança e arquitetura de web server compartilhado agregaram muito conhecimento sobre apache.

[Gaurav Prabhu]

A good book for the common Apache questions and even not so common. Must read for system admins.
