Apache HTTP Server Project Reviews & Product Details

the ease of setting up and running the basic skeleton of the apache web server. the support of editing the '.config' file is one of the best things that ever happened to me. it allows me to run multiple instances with virtual host routing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little more flexibility for editing on apache2 modules. I know it supports all modern ones, but I do miss SSL support for creating vulnerable labs for cyber security trainings. for that I'm using the old images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Control of multiple domains on personal or shared servers, installing Apache Server on Ubuntu Server is really easy, web page folder, copy code and that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Control of folder permissions to move and create files in laborious.

Sometimes the service gives an error when requesting different sub-domains to connect to the server remotely through SSL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache Web server is very easy to get started with, I know this because it was the first web server I ever used. It is also very popular, meaning that there is lots and lots of support for it including from companies like let's encrypt Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using Apache Server on sites which get many visitors it can definitely have decreased performance compared to something like NGINX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very fast and secure. The most important thing which I liked was the easy customization that the platform provides via various extension and modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pro is the con. More customisation means more bugs and errors. It also makes it insecure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing found as of now. All working good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache being one of the oldest servers has tremendous documentation available. Almost every problem ever faced has been covered and a simple Google search could give you a fix. I also like various object cache and other modules available. Every use case is supported by Apache with much fewer conflicts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The .htaccess directory configuration method involves too many r/w requests. This slows the renders down significantly, especially with our use-cases where WordPress is heavily involved. We actually like the way every directory has its own configuration but Apache should've had some easy, native cache configuration like LiteSpeedServer and we'd be still using it for some of our applications.

I liked its easy configuration and easy to host and manage your web application such as php , laravel etc. Really powerful to handle traffic it supports modules so you can use them according to your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Found nothing till yet for which I can say disliked in it everything is working fine for me. I never had any issue with this working smoothly and easy configurations, so no problems till yet for which i can say that i disliked this thing in apache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that there is an awful lot of reference material out there for apache, and that I can find example configuration snippets for basically anything that I need to do with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to run a lot of Apache 2.0 & 2.2 servers back when that was current, and with Apache 2.4, there are a handful of things that are critical, but which are configured inversely from the way 2.2 was. For example, the default directory permissions are exactly opposite what they were and with 2.4, the command syntax for configuring access is exactly opposite what it was. If you migrate from 2.2 configs, it doesn't "just do the right thing", it requires manually changing things to get the desired results. I would have given this a 10 instead of a 9 had the developers of 2.4 made it compatible with 2.2 configs, and still had the server do the right thing. I also don't like the fact that it requires a fair amount of cpu & memory to run properly. I build embedded systems as well sometimes, and many of those have cpu speed & memory constraints that make apache impractical for it. I use other web server software such as uhttpd as the server there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very configurable, and that makes it very versatile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
