What the critics said about the first edition: -0-
--   "The book (Apache: The Definitive Guide) actually lives up to
     its bold claim, as it contains everything you will ever want to
     know about the World's most popular web server. In short, the
     book has everything you need to get started with the Apache web
     server, and to help you progress from there to more complex
     operations. I believe it complements nicely the skimpy 'official'
     documentation available on Apache's web site. Thanks to its
     broad coverage of topics, the book should appeal to both
     beginners and experienced webmasters." -- Luca Cotta Ramusino,
     Linux Journal Oct 1997

--   "Although Apache is in fact the world's most popular Web server,
     its documentation has been spotty. No longer, thanks to this
     excellent guide." -- Byte Magazine, July 1997

--   "For excellent documentation, the O'Reilly folks have published
     Apache: The Definitive Guide." -- Information Today, March 1998
