Apache
A Patchy Server.
Apache is a web server, a piece of software that identifies what URL has been requested over the network, and responds with the content relating to it.
It's a little long in the tooth; many people prefer nGinX instead. It's still got a lot of users - and valid use cases - though.
I've been using it as long as I can remember. Way back in the day we had to reconfigure it to enable the URL rewrite module for Drupal and Wordpress.
Although nowadays we generally use Docker to chunk out a preconfigured setup and that's it - but if you need it tweaking, I'm all over it.
I've been using Apache since Feb 2024 (1 years).
