What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

It is an excellent server, to use a language that is used mainly on the web that is PHP, is an HTTP server allows me to connect with databases such as MySQL and MariaDB. It is also an open source software, which can be monitored for security flaws, we can also say that it is a software that I consider very safe and is always in constant update and improvement. The costs of the Apache servers are free, we must know how to configure in a way that is quite easy to install on Windows, Macintosh and Linux. I have used it in the Windows and Linux server models, the experience in these two environments has been very good for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I could say that some versions do not have a visually friendly presentation for its configuration, since this must be done by means of a console.

Before you start using Apache you should definitely read the configuration files first and then go testing around.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Apache Server is an application to publish websites on your own server in an agile and powerful way. It is really complete and has many options, for example recently it has allowed me to configure two different web pages in two different domains on the same server, with SSL enabled and with different certificates for each one, definitively it's the most complete service.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Extensive knowledge and experience is required to achieve a great performance of the web server and optimal security settings, therefore, installing the web server and making it work in a production environment would be fatal because it only has the default basic configurations, therefore under these conditions the server would have great vulnerability and low performance, on the other hand, there is no configuration panel that can facilitate the administration of the web server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache HTTP Server Project:

If this web server will be used in a production environment, make sure you never leave the settings that the software comes by default, because it would be a very high security risk. In this sense, it is required to make an optimal configuration at security level, and an optimal configuration to have the best performance considering also the technical characteristics of the hardware on which the web server will be implemented.

Apache web server it's a cross-platform application that gives you hundreds of options to configure it. To get it up, it's easy but there are lots of properties that you can define to get your services totally customized and secure.
