The Apache HTTP Server Project is a collaborative software development effort aimed at creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world, using the Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and its related documentation. This project is part of the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, hundreds of users have contributed ideas, code, and documentation to the project.

mod_status with "ExtendedStatus On" is to apache what mongrel_proctitle was to mongrel : a way to see which requests are currently being handled by rails processes/threads andy — 3 months ago

conundrum: Phusion passenger docs say that apache's mod_rewrite is slow but I want to do the friendly thing and redirect (301) requests that were sent directly to the downstream webservers back to our canonical website. Ohloh used to do this with a mongrel.conf similar to the one posted here: http://noobonrails.blogspot.com/2006/09/good-seo-mojo-with-rails.html. Hopeful solution: To preserve the speed-up in Passenger given by PassengerHighPerformance, I port this mongrel specific fix into a rails before_filter. andy — 3 months ago

Goes without saying: Best of breed

  by Halleck

I've been running Apache HTTPD for seven years and it hasn't let me down yet. I am continually impressed at how configurable and stable it is. This goes without saying, as it is the de facto standard.

Love of my life.

  by jmparks

Being a sys-admin and web-developer I have a profound respect for this beautiful project.

I've experienced uptimes of over 7 years with Apache based servers - and never had a problem I haven't caused.

The Apache HTTP Server is arguably at the top of its class - Thank you.
