Apache HTTP Server Project Reviews & Product Details - Page 14

Easy to set-up for anyone familiar with Linux servers. Install with package manager of choice, edit a few config files and off it goes. Included in practically every distribution's package repositories.

Great performance without much tuning.

Rock-solid stability.

Very widely supported. Easy to install extra CGI extensions like PHP and Ruby/Passenger.

Completely free and open-source.

Actively developed and updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beginning to become outdated to the likes of more performant web servers like NGINX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Apache Web Server is that it just simply works. It's very easy to set-up and configure, get a website up in a few minutes. Good scripting support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Then command line interface for the product is fairly poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me is the best web server today for several things like cross OS installation, customization and stability. Is flexible because of ability to pick and choose various modules. Has enhanced security (notable, because vulnerabilities typically are attacked in Windows-based machines). Has strong user-community support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

in Apache itself, nothing. but several plugins are difficult to configure or make them work like expected. Sometimes not every configuration is intuitive, but every time we can make it work. Is a process-based server, which means each simultaneous connection requires a thread that can incur significant overhead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any one who come across the Apache Web server, the first thing comes into mind is how inexpensive and stable webserver it is. I have been using this websever to host the front end application and cost is zero. More over this is stable and no issues at all. It supports lot of modules and can connect to Oracle weblogic server, IBM websphere application server, jboss application server and lot more application servers.

When I first installed apache webserver on my machine, the first thing I disliked about it was that it does not have enough documentation. Now days I see lot of online forums and documentation available. so it should not be a problem now a days for anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can download the basic Apache server free

Configuring Apache requires editing directives in text files

User authentication and access control are managed primarily via .htaccess files;

As a platform for development, Apache directly supports CGI scripts and server-side includes, and its wide variety of modules provide plug-in support for Perl, PHP, emulated ASP, and other page-generation and Web-scripting languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Authentication and security options in the basic Apache server are limited.

Apache's performance starts decreasing once many concurrent users jump on your site where Nginx's performance doesn't drop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've created my own NAS using the OpenMediaVault distribution which is missing a Web server. As I wanted to host my own Web sites/apps I turned into a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) solution.

Apache is a simple but powerful Web server that can handle multiple domains super easily. Via a DNS company I redirect the traffic to my NAS running Apache which can render/provide the appropriate page/site based on the Url. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Url rewrite module (to use more friendly public Url) is difficult to debug and understand why a rule isn't working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Free, Open Source and Cross-platform.

It can be quite easily deployed locally (especially when using a LAMP or similar distribution), for testing purposes and is very widely used with web hosting providers.

Good performance and extensive control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finetuning security, permissions, special behaviours requires extensive technical knowledge.

For most average users, having a GUI dashboard is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy with Apache server to deploy and run your applications. It is easy to learn it in time manner. It is lite and running fast and also stopping fast. Nice server for your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to say about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is hands-down the best web server available. It's easy to install and configure. It's easy to find help when you run into issues. It has a huge community available for support, and it's open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really nothing bad to say about Apache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache is the standard web server for almost all Linux OS', and it is one of the easiest web servers to get up and running straight out of the box. Constant updates from the community keep the web server secure and using the latest technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Exploits are often found and some of them can take a long time to have a resolution. As it is open-source, the bug list is publically accessible, so a malicious hacker could find a bug and design an exploit easily (this has been done multiple times). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
