Abstract
“What's New in Apache Web Server 2.2” shows you all the new features you'll know to set up and administer the Apache 2.2 web server. Learn how to take advantage of its improved caching, proxying, authentication, and other improvements in your Web 2.0 applications.
Changes and Improvements in the Apache Web Server Version 2.2
Introduction
Apache HTTPd 2.2 is the latest version of the Apache Software Foundation’s flagship product; it is also the one that httpd developers most recommend that you use. If you are using an older version of the product—particularly if you are using a 1.3 version—it is highly recommended that you upgrade to the 2.2 series.
In this document, I will attempt to give you some idea of why you should upgrade and an understanding of the new functionality in this release that makes it vastly superior to previous releases.
The new functionality that will be covered in this document includes:
Configuration file layout
Authentication system redesign
Caching and proxying
mod_dbd
httxt2dbm for RewriteMaps
Additional httpd options
Module rearrangement and renaming
New modules
And many other lesser changes
