Not That spectacular 
Everything appears to be beyond the scope of the book. The book was alright, nothing spectacular. I got more information from a one page online article, than I got in this entire book. Yes, yes I've been using apache for quite some time; I'm not a newbie by any means. I just felt it could have been written better, and with more detail, among other things. If you need a reference of some of the things apache could do, and how to do it this book is alright, but if you're looking for a complete reference, this is not it.
An Excellent Book on Apache for Admins and Developers 
I've read many books on Apache, and this is by far, one of the best. Whether you're a System Admin or Developer, the Apache Administrator's Handbook will help you understand how to build and administer Apache, as well as help you understand how it works.
Lots Of Good Information
The online docs were no help. Knowing little about web servers and nothing about Apache, I was looking for some detailed help installing and configuring Apache. I needed something that would explain, at a basic level, what needed to be done to get Apache going.
I found this book very helpful in setting up my server. It covered everything about installing and configuring Apache. Config files were explained in detail. Integration with perl and php were wll covered. I also found the chapters on Security and logging helpful as well. This book is geared toward Unix servers but also contains specific information for the Win32 crowd. I highly recommend this book.
