Course Summary
|
The hands-on Apache Web Server Administration class covers the fundamentals
of Apache HTTPD administration, including: installation,
standard configurations, analyzing traffic logs, techniques for setting
up virtual hosting and password-protected webpages, and more.
The Apache HTTP Server is the most popular web server, powering over
60-percent of all websites. It is free, open source, and available for
various Unix-type operating systems, OS/2, BeOS, and Microsoft Windows
platforms. This class will be taught using open source Unix operating
systems, but most of the skills will also be applicable to maintaining
the Apache Web Server under other operating systems.
This class is designed for students who are new to open source Unix
administration. Some Unix, BSD, or Linux experience would be helpful.
