| The Apache HTTP server project is an open-source HTTP (web) server for modern operating systems including UNIX and WindowsNT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Apache has been the most popular web server on the internet since april of 1996. The October 2003 netcraft web server survey found that more than 64% of the web sites on the internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined. Although Apache 2.0 is available for use, Apache 1.3.x is still the standard for LAMP servers. With internals that have been tested and perfected, Apache 1.3.x proves to be the best WWW server available today. As with most open-source projects, there are numerous add-ons and tailored versions of the server available, which are created using the Apache module API. The name comes from its origins as a series of "patch files. |
