for [Linux]. It also runs on most
other OpenSource (
and [not so open source|MicrosoftWindows]) [OperatingSystem]s
. It started life as a heap of patches circulating for
[NCSA]'s __

which was no longer
maintained. Eventually
, a group of developers collected
all the patches and consolidated them into
their own version of the web server -
"A Patchy Server". Hence the name

http://httpd
.apache.org: : The Apache [HTTP] Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including [UNIX] and [WindowsNT]. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. %%% %%% Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The July 2003 [Netcraft] Web Server Survey found that 63% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.

+The Apache OpenSourceProject has many subprojects (which they confusingly call projects, but never mind), including: the Apache [HTTP] Server, the [Ant] build program, the [XML] project (which releases [Xerces] and [Xalan]) and the [PHP] ProgrammingLanguage.
