The Apache Web Server
A web server is a network service that serves content to a client over the web. This typically means web pages, but any other documents can be served as well. Web servers are also known as HTTP servers, as they use the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP).
The web server available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is version 2.4 of the Apache HTTP Server, httpd, an open source web server developed by the Apache Software Foundation. If you are upgrading from a previous release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you will need to update the httpd service configuration accordingly. This section reviews some of the newly added features, outlines important changes between Apache HTTP Server 2.4 and version 2.2, and guides you through the update of older configuration files.
