Questions tagged [apache-httpd]

ASF Logo

Apache is an HTTP server that has a large installation base within the UNIX & Linux community.

The server has already gone through several iterations, resulting in similar -- but not 100% compatible -- installations and configurations. Include the version of Apache in your question unless you are sure that it is irrelevant.

Apache ships with modern distributions, and extensions (e.g. 'mod_wsgi`) are available as separately installable packages.

Apache is one of many projects maintained by the Apache Software Foundation.
