LEARNING CONTENTS
A. What is a Web Server?
Different types of server software, such as file servers, database servers, mail servers, and web servers,
are used for various functions. These applications can access files stored on a physical server for their intended
purposes. A web server's role is to provide websites on the internet. It acts as a intermediary between the server
and client machines, retrieving content from the server for each user request and delivering it to the web.
B. What is Apache?
The Apache software is a freely available and open-source program that enables individuals to
host their websites on the internet. It is a well-established and dependable web server software
developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation, first introduced in 1995.
