I'll admit I've not had any hands on experience with an Apache server for a few years now, but that didn't stop me wanting to add this book on Apache to my bookshelf. Apache is the server of choice for the majority of web hosting companies out there, so if I'm going to be running a site on owning a site, then I'll need to be familiar with the software that most people will be using.
Apache: The Definitive Guide is an old book as far as computer books go, and I would expect a more up-to-date version of this to be published soon now that Apache 2 is available. Despite it's age, it is a very good book to use for reference and makes clear any differences between the Unix and Windows implementations when working through the examples. Infact, it is the only book dedicated to Apache that I own!
While the software provided on the CD is outdated (Apache 1.3.3), code samples are also provided from the book. This is very useful when there is a lot of code for a given example, as I've often tried to find examples of code from other O'Reilly books without much success... having it on CD means you can access the code long after it has been moved or removed from the publishers web site.
I like the way that the authors have dealt with the evolution of the web site, following an example site from it's early beginnings right through to tweaking the server configuration to do more and more complex things.
There are many, many different ways that you can configure Apache that it can be difficult to know where to start. Apache: The Definitive Guide makes the process much easier regardless of your choice of platform.
