I am looking for what can be achieved with Apache.My understanding is just that of a newbie. I used reverse proxy and NameVirtualHosting with some Customized Logging. Recorded time stamps Apache took to serve pages.Used a few application servers with Apache as front end to them. I recently came across some one who was developing modules for Apache so this gave rise to question as what more can be achieved with Apache and what sort of modules or why they develop. I did ask this question to them also but some how they refused to answer it. After this I searched module development in Apache came across Orielly books http://www.kuzbass.ru:8086/docs/apache_c_mod_perl/79.htm http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Apache-Overview-HOWTO-12.html http://perl.apache.org/ http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/apache/ch15_01.htm http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565925670 http://press.oreilly.com/pub/pr/1022 So I wanted to know how can apache be used effectively is it just a tool for serving web pages or manipulating HTTP requests or in a professional set up how can it be used some typical examples that can help me to understand its more of features and functionality. I will summarize my question 1) What can be achieved with modules which some people develop for Apache 2) What are some advanced uses of Apache how can it be used effectively. 3) Any good link which some one wishes to share here as I can understand some advanced capabilities which Apache offers but I am not clear with terms to search for or my question. -- Tapas http://mightydreams.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
