Newbie Help

Hi,
I am hoping somebody could point me to a good book for
learning how  
to configure Apache 2?
I am brand new to using Apache. I just got a mac powerbook,
but want  
to use apache 2 over the default of Apache 1.3.
Therefore, I want to learn how to make Apache 2 run the
system. I did  
a package install so it installed Apache 2 in a different
location.

Thanks,
John

I bought Apache Security by Ivan Ristic published by
O'Reilly. I too am 
a newbie and I found it excellent.

You can install it wherever you like on Linux or Windows. I
don't know 
much about Mac except that it runs on a version of Unix
(BSD?) which 
probably means you can put it wherever you like on a Mac
too.

Good luck

You can not usually go wrong with the Oreily books.  The
best way would be to
go to your local bookstore, and then start looking at the
books.  A book that
I would find helpful might be totally useless to you.  Start
looking at what
they cover, and see if they cover topics that you need..

I found this book very helpful John:

Pro Apache 3rd Edition
By Peter Wainwright
ISBN: 1-59059-300-6
904 pp.
Published: Jan 2004
Apress

h
ttp://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=275

It covers all you need to know (and alot more) to get you up

and running with apache 1.3 and 2.0.x series.

Apress have recently changed their site CSS, so you may need

to use something like mozilla if your usual browser has 
problems with rendering of the apress site.

Regards

Keith

In theory, theory and practice are the same;
in practice they are not.

Hi,
Thanks so much for your help, and the book idea. Tomorrow I
am going  
to boarders here in Hawaii to get a book.
Getting better I finally got tomcat & apache 2 working.

Thanks for your help

Hi,
Thanks so much, this book looks good
I am going to the book store tomorrow, and have a look at
their  
apache books.

Things are improving, I finally almost have everything
running. I  
know I need a good reference book on apache 2.
Thanks so much for your help,

You have two things to look for in an author:
  - Do they *really* know the subject?  An author who is
part of
    the core Apache team is likely to score high.
  - How well do they communicate to a newbie?  A
professional
    author with lots of books published is probably doing
    something right.

Rich Bowen scores on both those tests, and also does newbie 
training, including the "introduction to apache"
tutorial at
ApacheCon.  Worth a look at his books.

Someone also mentioned Ivan Ristic, who is also
well-respected,
though not a core developer.  Couldn't say anything about
other
individuals mentioned.

I agree on this also.  I have used a couple of his books,
and also
seen him at ApacheCon.  He is a "Very" good
instructor.
