Abstract
The web server in Mac OS X is as versatile, stable, and scalable as you are likely to find in any operating system. Apple built the web server using the highly modular Apache server that kick started the Web as we know it, now with more than 100 million web sites and serving up more than half the web sites in the world. The maturity of the product is unparalleled, and the care Apple takes to integrate it is painstaking to say the least. Because Mac OS X Server comes preloaded with Apache, this chapter will focus wholly on that product.
