Apache: The Definitive Guide, 2nd edition (en anglais)
EUR 15,74
With distributions for both Unix and 32-bit Windows environments, the Apache Web server boasts reliability, security, and scalability--and it s free. Apache: The Definitive Guide shows Apache administrators how to perform their jobs, detailing the server through version 1.3. The authors--one of them a member of the Apache development team--begin with an academic discussion of what Web servers do before walking the reader through the process of installing Apache. Installation gets much attention--readers find out, step by step, how to set up a Web site (or several) under Apache, and how to set up Web site security and other preferences properly. The book also provides in-depth discussions of particular aspects of Apache operation, including MIME handling, the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), and security features such as authentication and caching. For the programmers in the crowd, this book documents the Apache API with discussions of resource pools and their allocation, plus a full API reference. A tutorial explains how to write Apache extension modules in C. In all matters, Apache: The Definitive Guide covers both Unix and Win32 machines, but it places more emphasis on the Unix port. The complete source code of Apache 1.3 appears on the CD-ROM that ships with the book. --David Wall
This book served its purpose. - Now you may think that there are better books out there. And there maybe. However this book is a five star book. I bought this book for a beginning apache class. We were able to follow the instructions and down load the Apache server from the Internet. The only problem we had was with the NIS system that was not anticipated in this book. It was a lot more important to use this book to read the flat files and see how they were related to each other. The section on Extra Modules (chapter 12) gave a way to improve the server and go outside the scope of this book. This book covered more details than I was looking for, this ways different people can use the book to target their particular needs. You can safely say: This book has everything you need to set up an apache server.
