Run Your Own Web Server Using Linux & Apache -- SitePoint's Latest Release

SitePoint Pty. Ltd. (sitepoint.com), provider of fun, practical and easy-to-understand content for Web professionals, today announced the release of ‘Run Your Own Web Server Using Linux & Apache’, collaboration between seasoned developers Stuart Langridge and Tony Steidler-Dennison.

‘If you plan to compete with the big players, your site must be up and running all the time -- it can't be allowed to suffer the potential security and performance problems that arise when you're trying to debug live scripts,' commented Tony Steidler-Dennison, co-author of the book. ‘This book is the developer's key to maintaining a professional site, while optimizing its performance.'

No prior experience with Linux is expected by the book's authors.

'Run Your Own Web Server Using Linux & Apache’ deftly guides readers through the installation of Linux and Apache onto a development server before explaining how to master common server admin tasks and, importantly, how to secure their servers using a firewall and intrusion detection system.

Readers also learn how to manipulate server settings for maximum performance through the management of traffic reporting, log-file rotation and more.

'This is the how-to book I wish I had when I started with Apache on Linux,' commented Stephen Pierzchala, Chief Performance Evangelist for WebPerformance, and technical editor for 'Run Your Own Web Server Using Linux & Apache’. 'This book will give the novice a deeper understanding of the system as a whole, and the tools to make things run smoothly.'

'Managing your own server puts you in control,' added Tony Steidler-Dennison, 'and can potentially save you thousands each year. If your focus is on constant optimization and ultimate professionalism, managing your own development server is a must. This book will teach you how to do it right.”
