All I was trying to say is that if we talk about httpd in the doc, we don't need to prepend it with "Apache" ; we know we don't talk about CERN httpd, or W3C httpd. > > httpd is a command, that invokes the Apache HTTP Server.

Perhaps I missed something (all in all I'm just a translator), but as far as I'm concerned, httpd actually is the server itself (not the project) and the main subject of the documentation whom we talk, even if we also talk about apachectl, htpasswd, etc. ; I don't know what you mean when you say it invokes the Apache HTTP Server. > > I have no idea how Guinness is relevant. > > Noirin Because, as when we think about httpd, we also think about Apache, when we think about Guinness, we also think about Ireland (at least for me) Happy St Patrick Lucien > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
