O'Reilly Network: Getting, Installing, and Running Apache

"There are about as many ways to build and install Apache as there are reasons to run a web server. As it's our first time out, we'll take the road most traveled and leave the advanced configurations for later columns."

"In this column, I'll wander through three methods of Apache installation under Unix:"

• "Binary installation
• Using a Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) (for those of you running Red Hat Linux)
• From scratch (source, that is)"

"I find installing Apache from scratch the simplest and most flexible method, but I'll leave you to choose which method you prefer."
