This is EXACTLY the problem faced by most regular (as in non geeky) users of apache. There's no question that apache itself usually performs well, but trying to make sense of the horribly obtuse documentation is a real feat. I've prepared a basic tutorial on FreeBSD setup / configuration for the thousand odd members of a non-profit internet access group & have received countless comments along the lines that "its nice to see that someone has finally prepared some docs in regular user language". I would like to do something similar on apache, but to do so one needs to find simple english answers in the first place ... the present state of the "official" docs is such that apache.org is the LAST place for regular users to go in search of intelligible answers !!!!
I realize there's a "Dummies" book on the subject .... these used to be popular in OZ a few years back, but with the all time low value of the local currency relative to the $US they are becoming too expensive for many. Pity someone in Europe hasn't produced something in print .... at least the eu is still compatible with the $OZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodent of Unusual Size" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Apache docs list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2000 3:27 AM Subject: [Fwd: Apache Documentation] > Some remarks from a docco user from a couple of years ago.. > FWIW. > -- > #ken P-)} > > Ken Coar <http://Golux.Com/coar/> > Apache Software Foundation <http://www.apache.org/> > "Apache Server for Dummies" <http://Apache-Server.Com/> > "Apache Server Unleashed" <http://ApacheUnleashed.Com/>
