Questions tagged [apache]

Use this tag (along with an appropriate programming-language tag) for programming questions relating to the Apache HTTP Server. Do not use this tag for questions about other Apache Foundation products. Note that server configuration questions are usually a better fit on https://serverfault.com

Apache web server can be quickly and easily installed for development tasks, especially those related to PHP, Perl, and MySQL, using some packages such as XAMPP.

Note that, by historical convention, the term "Apache" is used to refer to the Apache Server Project (httpd), with which the tag is associated. This point must be clarified because the Apache Server Project is just one of over 350 open-source projects and initiatives provided by the Apache Software Foundation (also sometimes referred to simply as "Apache".)

Use the tag only for programming questions relating to the Apache HTTP Server. Note that server configuration questions may be a better fit on Server Fault.
