[users@httpd] Newbie Help
Hi,
I am hoping somebody could point me to a good book for learning how
to configure Apache 2?
I am brand new to using Apache. I just got a mac powerbook, but want
to use apache 2 over the default of Apache 1.3.
Therefore, I want to learn how to make Apache 2 run the system. I did
a package install so it installed Apache 2 in a different location.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
Thanks so much for your help, and the book idea. Tomorrow I am going
to boarders here in Hawaii to get a book.
Getting better I finally got tomcat & apache 2 working.

I bought Apache Security by Ivan Ristic published by O'Reilly. I too am
a newbie and I found it excellent.

You can install it wherever you like on Linux or Windows. I don't know
much about Mac except that it runs on a version of Unix (BSD?) which
probably means you can put it wherever you like on a Mac too.
Good luck

I agree on this also. I have used a couple of his books, and also
seen him at ApacheCon. He is a "Very" good instructor.

You have two things to look for in an author:
- Do they *really* know the subject? An author who is part of
the core Apache team is likely to score high.
- How well do they communicate to a newbie? A professional
author with lots of books published is probably doing
something right.
Rich Bowen scores on both those tests, and also does newbie
training, including the "introduction to apache" tutorial at
ApacheCon. Worth a look at his books.
Someone also mentioned Ivan Ristic, who is also well-respected,
though not a core developer. Couldn't say anything about other
individuals mentioned.

Thanks so much, this book looks good:)
I am going to the book store tomorrow, and have a look at their
apache books.
Things are improving, I finally almost have everything running. I
know I need a good reference book on apache 2.
Thanks so much for your help,

I found this book very helpful John:
Pro Apache 3rd Edition
By Peter Wainwright
ISBN: 1-59059-300-6
904 pp.
Published: Jan 2004
Apress
http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=275
It covers all you need to know (and alot more) to get you up
and running with apache 1.3 and 2.0.x series.
Apress have recently changed their site CSS, so you may need
to use something like mozilla if your usual browser has
problems with rendering of the apress site.
Regards
Keith
In theory, theory and practice are the same;
in practice they are not.

You can not usually go wrong with the Oreily books. The best way would be to
go to your local bookstore, and then start looking at the books. A book that
I would find helpful might be totally useless to you. Start looking at what
they cover, and see if they cover topics that you need..
