MicroNugget: What is the Apache HTTP Server?

In this video, Tim Warner covers Apache, the widely popular open-source, cross-platform Web server software. Tim focuses on hands-on issues that systems administrators will likely encounter, such as whether more than one website can be serviced through a single Apache box.

IT professionals are attracted to Apache because it’s the world’s industry-leading cross-platform web server software. It’s open-source, which can be a tremendous advantage for a number of applications. Because of its powerful capabilities and unique flexibility, 57 percent of all active websites in the world are hosted on Apache web servers. Tim discusses the active development community that shapes current and future Apache developments and how using modules can extend nearly any functionality in the product you need to support. After giving background and context for the software, the video will demonstrate how Apache appears on a Windows Server 2008 box.
