[»] Mod Rewrite Rules!
by Rob - Nov 23rd 2007 07:26:35

Apache is great. I don't think I could live without mod rewrite. I get so much use out of it and will never switch to IIS

by phiro - Oct 7th 2007 05:11:12

@ manuel: yes, you can use it in windows. It works also in a package like xampp for example.

[»] Nice Features
by patti - Apr 25th 2007 06:59:22

Agree with comments below...

If you think of the many helpful features of Apache that are available by default (i.e. mod-rewrite) it's just a great project. To realise similar things within other software can be ver complicated.

[»] The reasons why I use Apache

I use Apache because it can be very simply to configure, and provides much functionality. IIS is very poor product. Thanks.

    Yeah, Apache is obviously much better than IIS.

      That's a good call, didn't mess around with IIS too much but there is definitely a reason for that~

      Don't you think, that there should be some competition. When one is an absolut leader, this may stop development of the project. So, we even should support those, who want to make something better! :-)

I use Apache since 3 years for one of my website. I just want to thank you for making this software free. It is definitely the best web server available now. Two thumbs up.

    For bugs reports about Apache direct here, if you need support you'll have to find third partie help since Apache Fundation developers don't offer that, perhaps in user groups or some well known forums you might get your answers.

    To contact the current maintainer of the Debian package you may ask support [at] mentors.debian.net.

[»] Apache
by Thomas M. - Apr 24th 2005 05:13:04

The Apache web server is one of the most important open source projects. Not only is it the world's most popular HTTP server but more importantly it is the reason that the server side of the Web is not dominated by Microsoft. We all know about Microsoft's strategy of 'extending' the 'commodity protocols' on which open source projects depend, as a way of denying open source an entry into the market (The Halloween Documents). If Apache wouldn't have been people probably would have had to develop one version of their web pages for Netscape servers and one for Microsoft servers. Eventually Microsoft would have won the 'server war' as it won the 'browser war' but luckily this did not happen. Instead Apache changed the rules on the server side. Tom

[»] 1.3.13?
by xercist - Oct 13th 2000 13:46:33

Don't get me wrong, I love the apache server, but what happened to 1.3.13? Are they really trying to avoid releasing a .13 on Oct, Friday the 13th? I think the coincidence would be quite nice ;)

[reply] [top]


    [»] Re: 1.3.13?
    by Joel A. Chornik - Jan 31st 2001 07:42:03

    It was released.. just for a few secs, before 1.3.14 was released due to a lust minute bug fix. it would have been a nice coincidence, though.

[»] Why Apache?
by Jeff Johnson ... 'TrN' - Aug 17th 1999 12:31:18

We've considered using Roxen-SSL, WN, and other servers.
However, many of the features that we rely on are only available
for the Apache server, for example, we use FastCGI, PHP, DAV,
FrontPage 2000, SSL, Java Servlets, CORBA, and Netscape Roaming
Access, and I have yet to find a web server that is under a
non-restrictive license that will satisfy the requirements.

On the other hand, "Zues-SSL" looks like an excellent server,
claiming to support for FastCGI, SecureCGI, Servlets, CORBA,
FrontPage support, and DAV support for Netscape Publishing,
and even has Apache compatibility with logs and .htaccess and
internal bandwith management, however, $1600 is a little too
much to pay.
