Outcome
The first chapter sets out to put you on the right track discussing the various ways to install Apache on your system whichever operating platform you use be it Windows, Linux, Mac etc. It also tells you the best version to use as well as shows you how to tackle problems you could encounter.
My favourite chapter has to be Virtual Host the PC Repairs Blog find once you own around five domains or more then Virtual Host is the way to go, its much more efficient than sharing the same ip address with 400 people also much cheaper than running a dedicated server. This chapter explains how you can have several virtual host on a server and make it very effective, it also shows you have to have a loggon for each virtual host.
Once you read chapter four and understand it as well as practice it you could begin setting up your own hosting company this is how powerful chapter four is.
I mention this as hosting can be a good business understanding dedicated servers as well as virtual servers gives you a great advantage in being able to run your business effective even if you own a small amount of domain names learning the tips in this book can better your understanding.
Finally
On every server if you need to sell products from their website like the PC Repairs London you need the use of the CGI scripting chapter five shows how to implant this into your server also how to make it secure.
SSL=Secure Socket Layer. I am sure you will agree as do the PC Repairs London,what good would any server be if security were not discussed? Chapter 7 is dedicated to this subject showing you how to install SSL on all platforms. Learning this chapter will increase your Apache server skills.
We have found here at the PC Repairs London one of the most popular things people want to learn in the last few years is Dynamic content management, it cannot work if you do not have your server set-up correctly thanks to Apache Cookbook chapter 8 is dedicated to this topic showing you how to prepare your server to accommodate it for just that. I have seen content management jobs paying in access of £80,000 a year so it is a deep subject and also one worth learning and expanding upon. Read my review about the book called Head First PHP and MySQL.
Apache is like any other software around the world and the PC Repairs London know it is capable of having problems, thing is what do you do and how do you master such occurrences? Chapter nine is all about error handling and guides you by showing you what to do when such errors occur.
