What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

What I like the most in apache Server is that you can configure almost everything according to your needs. Maybe some special configuration needs a bit reseach on the internet, but with 10-15 minutes of research, you can find your answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

There could be special edge cases, where you really need to dig deep into the core config of apache, or you have to use some "dirty" workarounds to implement your tricky requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Apache is the oldest and still most widely used webserver. It shines because of a large ecosystem of modules and a thriving community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Over the time I think it has also become a bit bloated. For hosting statics I recommend Nginx now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache HTTP Server Project:

Again , Apache is not the fastest and leanest option for hosting static content. However, if you have a PHP stack, there is not better alternative in the market better than Apache web server. (And if you host Perl content, you can still use mod_perl). Overall, you can't go wrong with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache HTTP Server Project solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apache is a tried , tested and enterprise ready web server. It also happens to be open source and free. I would highly recommend Apache as part of the LAMP stack for PHP content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

The pricepoint is great; it's modularity and ability to manually configure it along side the fact that it runs on windows, linux, and bsd is pretty cool too (maybe it runs on mac; idunno) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

with modularity and an adherance to the principles of unix with configuration files etc comes with the downside of having to know how to configure them; it's difficult to do if you've never taken classes on sysadmin stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

make sure you are patient and can read a sysadmin guide for using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's good for displaying web pages. i've since switched to nginx to try out their modular use of mod_wsgi vs apache's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
