Please bear in mind that there is a limit to how much depth one can go into in a single night and that I am not the complete repository of all Apache knowledge so I'm trying to get some feedback on what you guys/gals want to know!
I'll admit the bit of the Apache config manual's that made most sense to me is the quotes in the mod_rewrite manual... http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/ ``The great thing about mod_rewrite is it gives you all the configurability and flexibility of Sendmail. The downside to mod_rewrite is that it gives you all the configurability and flexibility of Sendmail.'' -- Brian Behlendorf Apache Group `` Despite the tons of examples and docs, mod_rewrite is voodoo. Damned cool voodoo, but still voodoo.'' -- Brian Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've been configuring Apache since some of the earliest versions... And with each new version of each new distro I'm impressed by the number of new ways and the number of new levels that things can get screwed up.... Just talking about the orthogonal levels at which things can get screwed up... * Cabling & Connectors * Hardware * IP and Routing * firewall * Network startup * Server startups * File system mounts, directory and file permissions (from the perspective of the httpd user). * Apache config * Apache config directory permissions. * Apache client allow deny permissions. * Dbase access authentication (username/password & client/host). * Dbase itself * Cgi scripts going screwy. * ... All doable and I've done it many times.... I'm just always impressed at how many different levels it can go cockeye.
