for additional functionality, a lot of configuration is needed, and it is easy to get lost if you lack experience in server management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apache web server"
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

We, as a nonprofitable educational organization, can not afford the high licensing server cost of IIS. Our old infrastructure compatibility with the latest servers was also a challenge. To inhouse host our Koha (library software) and moodle LMS, we tried to evaluate other webservers like tomcat, IIS but the compatibility mismatch consumed our energy a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

We missed the GUI like IIS. They were sometimes hanged on heavier loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Reliable and Stable"
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

I like that Apache is open source and very easy to set up. On Ubuntu, Apache2 also allows SSL, and its very easy to use Letsencrypt to get a free SSL certificate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Apache cannot host JAVA applications and this is a massive disadvantage for JAVA developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apache as a timesaver"
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Apache used to be the defacto webserver and it still a good choice when you are supporting existing Apache based configurations. Migrating a webserver with 200+ sites to another webserver is a major amount of work.

Especially lots of PHP based solutions rely on .htaccess ; rewriting those can be a pain.

Just keep on rocking with Apache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

The configuration syntax is a bit 90's compared to the more modern servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Private web server"
