    I ran this for a long time on my Windows box and it worked perfectly. I always bemoaned the lack of a GUI, but once I had it configured, I didn't need to change it much. Besides, GUIs have their own bugs and issues.

    Reviewing 2.2.3 (Aug 7, 2006)

    Are you someone who got bought by corporate advertisements?

    Not as powerful and secure?
    If it is not as powerul and as secure as some 30% share web server you are talking about, I wonder how such a web server gets beyond 50% share worldwide.

    And just like you said 'patch up', Apache rarely release new releases these days, simply there is rarely a thing to fix, especially for 1.3 series which had stopped putting new features in. So I wonder if you know what you are talking about.

    As for the server itself, it can be adminstered easily from anywhere using SSH, since configuration is just a simple text file, which also makes it easy to get search result by Goggle for specific errors or keywords while if it's GUI, it's hard to find specific setting people might have with only screen capture and different way of description for same settings.

    Security sounds good, only good when it's proved without having serious flaws reported for a long while. Many of the flaws are caused by applications on top of servers but not by server software design.

    And of course it runs on many OS and of course the price is free, and for anyone serious, the source code is there to check to make sure Apache isn't coded to do something nasty in the back or report the problem to developers with a patch for a quick fix than wait on phone calls from companies who keep taking you to some other place.
