Apache

Apache is a website server program I have been using. It is the only web server program I have used so far. The capability of the software can be extended with modules listed in configuration files. The main configuration file for Apache is called "httpd.conf" and this is where I have most of my difficulties when setting up a computer to host a website. Note that this configuration file can include other files. And it is a good idea to have a backup of this file on hand before you begin testing new configurations. I use the command "apachectl graceful" to restart the web server without disrupting connectivity for users.
