Apache 2 - What is it?
When the Web World began, there were only few servers to go with. There was the only server called Netscape Communication Corporation, now known popularly as Sun Java System. So as you can imagine, there were much exaggeration when the Apache arrived on the scene.
The first viable substitute to the Netscape web server Apache serves well. The users who were tired of the usual intake on the server executes on multiple platforms. Talking about the fact on the web server, Apache has become more popular that it took only four years to compete with other Unix servers based on the Web. Now it has become an organization of law (Apache Software Foundation) that supports free software and it is open.
History
The web server, Apache is a mosaic of ideas and programs developed jointly by a team of developers in the middle of 1994. It began when Robert McCool, was involved in NCSA Web server to distribute a set of patches by e-mail to Roy Fielding, Brian Behlendorf, David Robinson, Rob Hartill, Randy Terbush, Cliff Skolnick, Andrew Wilson, Robert S. Thau, Nicolas Pioche, Eric Hagbergand Frank Peters. They become the first team of Apache, finally.
The entertaining moniker that this company has a direct link to the tribe of Native American. Brian Behlendorf, the developer, said that this name is derived from a number of people that an organization wants to imitate. However, people use to say that the server name 'Apache' is actually clever play on words derived from "a patchy web server". Whatever may be the reason, the name that is chosen does not change the point of fact that server come along a long way.
Apache - The Features

Being a server virtual hosting is done and one installation of Apache used to serve multiple websites. And for viewing distance of the Apache log, you can see through a web browser, using scripts that are of free like visitors or AWStats/W3Perl.
All these features are updated with the version Apache 2.0, 6th April, 2002. Several upgrades includes authorization API that are more flexible and improved cache modules and proxy.
In addition, being a server the dynamic and the static web content on Internet, the web server is used to serve various web sites.
