Summary: Let's hear it for Apache!
Review: Apache Web Server is the most widely-used Web Server on the net, and for good reason! This book shows you how to harness the incredible power of the Apache Server. It explains everything, from the different request code-values and what they mean, to every line of the httpd.conf configuration file. Also, this book is nearly platform independent! Use it on Windows or Linux (Unix) it doesn't really matter! Of course it favors the Unix platform a little more because that is its native platform. If you are trying to run Apache Server, get this book! It also serves as an INCREDIBLE reference text.

Summary: don`t waste your money for a printed docu
Review: i don`t what or who motivated the previous readers to rate this book such hight (probably you guess :)) ).

anyway every apache distribution includes what`s this book made of: just a simple apache documentation. if you wan`t to pay 49 USD for a printing of the documentation, well your choice.

i can absolutely not follow the previews reviews which let me buy this really disappointing book which is really not made for newbies to get an introduction in apache server.

and if anybody might wonder my english is too bad to understand the book, don`t worry i usually prefer the english versions of any book.

Summary: K. Limberg reviewed the wrong book, I think
Review: Just a note of clarification: I suspect that that K. Limberg was thinking of a different book when writing the last review. There are at least two books that might have prompted it: one is essentially a copy of the source code ('Apache Server Commentary'), and the other is a copy of the documentation on the Web site (I have a copy, but can't remember the title). I can assure you that 'Apache Server Unleashed' is neither of these; it contains hundreds of pages of technical custom-written text that appear nowhere else. I know, because I wrote a bunch of it. :-)

BTW, the 5-star rating I've given is because I have to give *some* rating, and to offset the single star from what I sincerely believe is a mistaken review.

Summary: Apache server information for the administrator and develope
Review: Our intent, with this book, was to provide enough information for beginner to be able to set up, configure, and run, an Apache server, but also to give the advanced user and the developer an excellent reference guide.

Summary: APACHE - Running without fear!
Review: The top choice for understanding Apache concepts and for installing the webserver for several reasons. First, compare it to the competition. The text is easier to understand and a faster read than Wrox's "Professional Apache" (sometimes Wrox books meander to fill space), and the "Apache Bible", is not even in the same league because of problems with organization and presentation.

The best way to sum it up: The Authors of "Apache Unleashed" are not afraid of the product so after reading the text you understand what the Apache trend is really about - A very simple yet powerful product -. I guess this is why 60% of Internet servers are Apache based. Intentionally, the book "Apache Unleashed" remains true to this concept.

Of special note - This book also addresses Windows users who want to run Apache (I believe this is a growing market.)

Starting from scratch, I was able to install Apache and point 150 domains to my in-house web server during one weekend. (You also need O'Reilly's DNS Bind to do this.)

Good Luck!

Summary: Pretty good
Review: This book has been generally helpful. It is well written, appears to be accurate, covers many topics, and is well indexed. It does not have the level of detail that, say, a good O'Reilly book has, but I believe it happens to be as good as (or maybe a touch better than) the O'Reilly book on this subject.
