What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Fast, secure, and easy to set up. Apache is very well known, the community is well-established and can provide a plethora of information for any use case you can think of it modern web development. There are extensions and tutorials available for practically any feature imaginable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Some of the configuration can be a bit obtuse, but there is tons of information available online to help you get through it. That is just the price of flexibility. Also, being the biggest name in the game, Apache is also often the target for exploits as well, though you can't really fault them for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache HTTP Server Project:

What else are you going to use? Nginx is fine and has some speed benefits, but lacks features, and doesn't have the proven track record of Apache. Node.js is OK if you *really* want to roll your own server, but even that is better served as a module in an Apache stack. I don't really know of any other web server that comes close to competing with Apache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Serving web pages is fast and easy, more complex things like preprocessors, CGI, etc can be added on with relative ease. There are no major snags or hurdles that I've encountered in 5+ years of working with Apache. It just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Apache Server is very easy to set up and maintain. Apache is the standard server to learn web servers on and will be around for a very long time. Well designed graphical interfaces help new users become comfortable with a new online environment. Default passwords are easily changed and other safety measures keep your server secure from online attacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Because of Apache's widespread use, Apache Servers are the targets to malicious attacks from hackers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache HTTP Server Project:

Apache Server is the best choice for the most common web solutions today. Ease of setup and with a small learning curve makes Apache Server the right choice.

Great online resources are readily available for new and old users. I recommend to try out Apache Server even with an established server solution in place due to Apache Servers ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I solve small business problems such as in-office connectivity among our employees and web access with clients When there is less time wasted on trying to learn difficult new software, there is more time for employees to be productive and maintain a steady workflow in an office environment. Keeping cost down for the employer and maintaining a proactive business model, in effect keeping profits high and payroll down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a top notch product that really provides great service. It is also popular to find good information for it on-line . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve associate with it. So it takes some time to become familiar with it. Once you find out the logs and how it fits into the application you should be good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

The best of using Apache Server is that it is built with real problems in mind: Security, safety, and availability. It has a very long history of development, and that makes it the most secure web server around. Its documentation is well written, and complete, but not that important: You can find solutions for most configuration issues online, for free, or you can buy consulting services. It is also extensible via loadable modules to provide more functions when they are not build in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

The configuration is complicated. OK, it's very flexible, and there's a lot to configure so it has a very steep learning curve if you want to know everything about it. This can be frustrating to the newbie, but with some effort you can get to do what you need. Configuration is only possible via multiple text files. There are external tools for helping with configuration, but community help requires knowledge of the text configuration files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache HTTP Server Project:

Always start with a default configuration. Read the default page that appears after installation: It gives you insight on where configuration files are, and how to manage them. Make searches on the internet, there's always someone that already faced (and solved) the same problem you are facing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Most web servers I write software for are Apache Server, often with PHP. Having an application run on Apache Server makes it readily available on most external providers for hosting, both shared, and dedicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

I find that Apache server is straight forward to use and integrates perfectly with *NIX systems. The configuration is easy to pick up on and module installation is quick and easy.

It fully supports PHP and MYSQL allowing the majority of cms' to install and work perfectly.

It is also great to use as a proxy, I use it to proxy a tomcat web application and the proxy is easy to configure, supports SSL and logs errors correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Its not as fast as NGINX.

Updating Apache can be tricky due to the number of dependency however this is dependent on the OS uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use this not only for hosting websites ourselves but also to proxy a web application to hide it from the web. It also allows us to proxy a none SSL web application and add a SSL certificate via Apache to make things more secure for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
