This site: http://atlassian01.contegix.com:10086/confluence/oss/display/BOOKS/Books+about+Httpd lists a number of good books. But I don't really have personal experience with any of them. Perhaps others on the list will chime in. As far as reference books go, you are best off simply using the documentation on the apache website. That is more accurate and comprehensive than any book.

Whether or not you can delete this block entirely depends on what else you have in your config file. For example, if you have <Directory "/"> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all </Directory> then you will need the above section to allow access to that particular directory. > > > Thanks in advance and sorry of the elementary level of my questions... No need to appologize. That is the purpose of the list.
