Apache or, more precisely, the Apache httpd server, is one of the most trusted web server available now days. Mostly used on Linux, Unix and BSD systems, it can be installed on Windows without difficulties.
The Mac OS X installation process is fairly painless and straight forward, but there are a few rough spots along the way. Follow these step by step instructions to get Tomcat up and running on your Mac OS X machine in no time. Configure Environment Variables Prerequisite: Java. Download and install the latest Java 8u92 form this link. Free apache server download. Development Tools downloads - Apache HTTP Server by Apache Software Foundation and many more programs are available for instant and free download.
The purpose of a web server is to build and serve, not only every page of a website, but also all the resources they are containing: images, videos, medias of all kind as well as documents of all types. Most of them offer extra functionalities like the ability to compress those resources, or to send them over secure connections.
First released in 1996, Apache has since then been very well tested. For now more than twenty years it has proved itself as one of the most reliable httpd server available. Generally used in association with other open source software like PHP and MySQL, it powers more than 50% of all active websites.
An Apache server can be customized and adapted to your particular needs by loading external modules. For example the PHP module, mod_php, allow Apache to interpret, build and serve dynamic web pages from PHP scripts.
Other modules offers support for different programming languages, secure connections, load balancing, security features as well as a vast collection of features and protocols.
Installing Apache on a Linux system can usually be done via the standard distribution package manager. On a Red Hat or CentOS system, you just need to install it with yum: sudo yum install httpd
The more experienced users can easily compile and install the Apache httpd server by themselves. It's really nothing complicated with the help of the usual configure and make commands. Note that additional packages might be required (Apache Portable Runtime libraries in particular)
Configuration is done via traditional text configuration files, or with the help of management tools like Webmin.
Apache does not come with its own web analytics module. So you will have to install some software like Piwik. Or use online web statistics services.
There are of course different alternatives to Apache. NGiNX is certainly the most popular.r. But you should check also LightTPD and LiteSpeed Web Servers. Finally some high level programming compilers or interpreters, like Node.js or Go lang, offer the possibility to easily build your own httpd server.

Apache is a very good serving system for http. In the beggining if you don't know much about configuring and switching files or editing files... you WILL have complications. Apache is indeed a very good server you can customize it to your own needs, and its pretty secure depending on the OS that your using.
APACHE server is simply great !!!
Nice site. Apache Server is the fastest growing web server way ahead of the windows revolution because it's a lot cheaper, runs on a lower spec machine and doesn't crash every day. This site looks good, I guess it is run using php which is amazingly versatile for a few lines of code. Unfortunately, the general public need a little education about the virtues of using a non-window-y platform and the advantages. Hope this site does well, as it deserves too, once found. best, kev
It has been almost a year, and now Apache 2.x.x has replaced Apache 1.3.27 to serve my web sites. I use php extensively and the 2.0.44 - PHP 4.3.0 combo really rocks! Nice job to the developers. Thanks Sander and the developers gang for this particular build!
