About Apache HTTP Server
Apache HTTP Server is a robust, commercial-grade, feature-rich open-source web server that powers everything from personal sites to mission-critical production infrastructure. It offers flexible configuration, strong security features, high performance, and extensive extensibility through modules. Apache httpd is widely used and supported by a global community of contributors.
FAQ
The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, flexible web server that implements HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. It is highly configurable and extensible with third-party modules, runs on most versions of Linux, Unix, macOS, and Windows, and is actively being developed.
Benchmarks tend to be a measure of configuration competence rather than server quality. Apache is one of the most widely deployed web servers on the Internet and has been thoroughly tested by both developers and users.
You can find out how to download the source for Apache at the main Apache web server site. Binaries are not formally released by the Apache group, but some sources for Windows binaries are documented at Using Apache HTTP Server on Microsoft Windows.
Detailed information for submitting bug reports and patches may be found in the Apache HTTP Server developer documentation.
If the server won't compile on your system, it is probably due to one of the following causes: The Configure script doesn't recognize your system environment, your system's C compiler is garbage, your include files may be confused, or your operating system or compiler may be out of revision.
Regular expressions are a way of describing a pattern, such as 'all the words that begin with the letter A' or 'every 10-digit phone number'. They are useful in Apache because they let you apply certain attributes against collections of files or resources in very flexible ways.
The future plans for Apache httpd include continuing to be an 'open source' no-charge-for-use HTTP server, keeping up with advances in HTTP protocol and web developments, collecting suggestions for fixes/improvements from its users, and responding to needs of large volume providers as well as occasional users.
