Summary:
It appears that the majority is in favor of 'Apache HTTP Server' when
referred to in full, but there doesn't seem to be much of a
consensus of how
this should be abbreviated, so that we don't have to say the full
name every
time.
Looking at the example sentences below, it seems to me that "Apache
HTTP Server" and "the server" could be the solution to all of this.
In deciding what file to serve for a given request, the server's
default behavior is to take the URL-Path for the request (the part
of the URL following the hostname and port) and add it to the end
of the <directive module="core">DocumentRoot</directive> specified
in your configuration files.
Apache HTTP Server is also capable of <a href="vhosts/">Virtual
Hosting</a>, where the server receives requests for more than one
host.
Apache HTTP Server offers several different ways to accomplish this.
The last is mildly clunky, but I don't think there's a completely
clunk-free option on the table anyway.
There are many, many places in the docs where simple rewording would
improve not only the clunk factor, but make the entire thing a lot
easier to understand. This is, of course, an ongoing task. :)
