Course Overview

The Linux Web Server Administration course is aimed at technical staff who will be responsible for installing, configuring and maintaining Web Servers in a Linux or UNIX environment. The course addresses the evolution of Apache Web Server technology, as well as how to build, install, and configure Apache. Web-related issues such as authentication, dynamic Web content and virtual hosting/administration are included, as are Apache system performance issues (e.g., logging systems, firewalls, and proxies). The course will be run on a Linux platform, but it is suitable for all UNIX based deployments. Although being run in a Linux environment, delegates who will be supporting Apache Web services in a Windows environment will also benefit from this course as most configuration is carried out through editing of configuration files.
