There's plenty of documentation on installing and configuring the Apache
web server, but where do you find help for the day-to-day stuff, like
adding common modules or fine-tuning your activity logging? That's easy.
The new edition of the Apache Cookbook offers you updated solutions to
the problems you're likely to encounter with the new versions of
Apache.
Written by members of the Apache Software Foundation, and thoroughly
revised for Apache versions 2.0 and 2.2, recipes in this book range from
simple tasks, such installing the server on Red Hat Linux or Windows, to
more complex tasks, such as setting up name-based virtual hosts or
securing and managing your proxy server. Altogether, you get more than
200 timesaving recipes for solving a crisis or other deadline
conundrums, with topics including:
- Security
- Aliases, Redirecting, and Rewriting
- CGI Scripts, the suexec Wrapper, and other dynamic content techniques
- Error Handling
- SSL
- Performance
This book tackles everything from beginner problems to those faced by
experienced users. For every problem addressed in the book, you will
find a worked-out solution that includes short, focused pieces of code
you can use immediately. You also get explanations of how and why the
code works, so you can adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar
situations.
Instead of poking around mailing lists, online documentation, and other
sources, rely on the Apache Cookbook for quick solutions when you need
them. Then you can spend your time and energy where it matters most.
