What is Apache Definition ?

Apache is a popular web server that many ISP's and individuals use to host web pages. When you install Apache on your system your machine becomes a web server. Pages stored on your system in a "special folder" are accessible on the Internet via the machine's IP address. In order for pages to be viewed on the Internet, the files must be stored in a special directory; this directory is usually called htdocs, public_html, or www. If you use a web host, you probably upload your files to a directory with one of these names. If someone else wants to access your web pages, they must know the IP Address of your machine, i.e., 179.199.9.100. Apache is "open source" and therefore free. By : tinkertech.net
