What is Apache Web Server?
Apache HTTP Server, often simply referred to as Apache, is an open-source web server software that's widely used to serve websites and web applications. It's known for its power, flexibility, and broad support for various operating systems.
Apache HTTP Server is highly customizable and can be configured to meet a wide range of needs. It supports a variety of features such as SSL and TLS encryption, URL rewriting, custom log files, and load balancing, among others. It also offers robust support for server-side scripting and APIs, making it a versatile choice for serving dynamic web content.
Apache is a central component of the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) and is commonly used in many open-source projects and web application frameworks such as Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal. Its modular architecture allows for a wide range of features through a system of extensions and modules.
