"Install web server on your personal computer."
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

I like Apache Server because of the low resources it needs to work and all the functions it has, the installation on Debian systems is fast and secure, from a terminal I do all the configuration, it is also compatible with Windows. Apache Server is very secure and has years in the market, thousands of servers use it daily without problems with SSL and TLS transmission security.

I configure Apache Server for several domains and sub-domains within the same server without problem, I request different databases saving money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

When a Linux distribution updates certain applications it modifies the Apache Server configuration, I have to be aware when this happens because the server stops offering the services completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These are the options I like about Apache Server:

1* I like all the tools that Apache Server has, it is excellent to configure a stable and independent web server, easy installation in Debian and Ubuntu, codes in the terminal and the installation is quick and easy.

2* I like the configuration from the text editor, I configure all the dependencies and addresses of files and database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Learning is slow, there are options that are not well documented and you have to do your own tests to understand how it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Configure your server with all the necessary and important tools."
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

I like this system because it is free, open source and works on Linux, it is perfect for all configurations of a web server, it has many tools to configure from the terminal and set up my web page setting up a blog.

This system is used by millions of servers in the world, it is very secure and stable for any server I have, the transmission security is compatible with SSL and TLS, perfect for any information step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

When I update the system, sometimes I get an error in settings, I have to check the fault manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is not as reliable as the competitors and only allows limited features of proxying and load balancing."
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

This system is incomplete, it works roughly on Debian, the installation is simple from the terminal, after installation it is running and starts automatically. I like it when it works correctly when entering the default address of the Apache Server from the web browser indicates "It works!", but this happens only a few times, this is the first step that works correctly as a web server, the modification of the blog that I give the instructions I want and the installation of external packages offer a perfect web service. It is completely free and open source, I always like to check that the program does not have "gaps" where important information can be filtered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

It does not have a graphical interface in Debian Linux for easy and quick configuration; everything must be done via command code. It is not as strong as other web servers, of course, but it is faster, and it does not support WSGI. I had some dependency issues during installation, but after searching a bit, it was quickly resolved, and since this is not used on a large number of servers, Apache support is lower compared to other web servers.

"Complete and high-performance server for high-profile web apps exposed to massive repeated connections"
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

This system is complete, it works on Debian, the installation is simple from the terminal, after installation it is running and starts automatically. I like it when it works correctly when you enter the default Apache Server address from the web browser it indicates "It works!" This is the first step that already works correctly as a web server, the blog modification I give the instructions I want and the installation of external packages I offer a perfect web service. It is completely free and open source, I always like to check that the program has no "gaps" where important information can be leaked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

In-depth knowledge and experience are required to achieve great web server performance and optimal security settings, therefore installing the web server and running it in a production environment would be fatal because it only has the default basic configurations. Under these conditions, the server would have a great vulnerability and low performance. On the other hand, there is no configuration panel that can facilitate the administration of the web server.

I believe no software is perfect. The great dislike I have towards Apache is with the port numbers. It should usually work for me on 80 and 443, but when I open Skype, the numbers cannot change automatically and they must automatically update the port number in the configuration files.

"Mediocre web server that still lacks in too many areas"
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Of Apache Server, I only like the simplicity with which it is possible, thanks also to cross-platform support and the dozens of GUIs available officially or otherwise, to set up a web server or a LAMP stack in a very short time and without time-consuming and resource-intensive configurations. It performs its job excellently for hosting static web pages and PHP pages that do not require particular and repeated proxy passes to the process manager which, in the case of Apache, is exposed on the same IP as the web server itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

it is still too unstable when it comes to high concurrent connections, especially if such connections need to "talk" for a long time or for a large amount of data with the PHP process manager integrated in the Apache LAMP stack. There is no possibility of configuring load balancing except through DNS due to the presence of both the process manager and the web server on a single stack. Moreover, one of the worst flaws is the absence in 2019 of an authentication module for serving static files in order to emulate/simulate or implement the same behavior as a CDN. Everything should be reviewed and updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent web server for debugging and deployment purposes in a Windows environment"
What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Apache2 is cross-platform and this is one of its strengths compared to other free web app servers. It can be downloaded and started with a click and minimal configuration without the need to configure listen addresses, ports, paths to fpm and other process managers, or additional paths to follow for file and index searching. I find its stability truly excellent for serving static content and video/audio files for mid-level CDN (content delivery network). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

It slightly lacks in security as a novice (like one of our interns) could start the server with a click without having control over the open ports and the process managers capable of processing code (even malicious) with root permissions on Linux and administrator on Windows, a warning would be necessary.
