Apache HTTP Server is an open source HTTP web server for Unix platforms (BSD, GNU/Linux, and UNIX systems), Microsoft Windows, and other platforms. The author claims the name was initially chosen as a catchy name in order to be original, but the most widespread interpretation (which almost immediately surfaced) is that the name comes from the fact that when it was developed in early 1995, it consisted of changes in the code to the most popular HTTP server of the time, NCSA HTTPd 1.3 and was therefore "a patchy" server. It would later be rewritten from scratch and no longer contains any NCSA code.
Apache features highly configurable error messages, DBMS-based authentication databases, and content negotiation but has been criticized for its lack of GUI tools to aid in its configuration.
Initially, Apache was the only viable open source alternative to the Netscape web server (nowadays known as iPlanet). It has since evolved to rival (and probably surpass) almost any other Unix based HTTP server in terms of functionality and speed. Since April 1996 Apache has been the most popular HTTP server on the Internet; in May 1999 it was running on 57% of all web servers. In May 2003 this percentage increased to 62%.
Apache is redistributed as part of various proprietary packages, e.g., the Oracle database or the IBM WebSphere application server. It is also supported in some way by Borland in the Kylix and Delphi development tools.
The Apache HTTP Server is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation.
Apache has other powerful features included in a large set of modules, including mod_perl, an authentication module (.htaccess) as well as a web proxy module and an extremely useful URL rewriter (also known as a rewrite engine) called mod_rewrite. Apache logs can be analysed through a web browser using free scripts such as awstats.

Apache is an Athabaskan language closely related to Navajo. It is spoken in the United States, unusual because most Athabaskan languages are spoken in the northwest of Canada and Alaska.Like most Athabaskan languages, Apache shows various levels of animacy in its grammar, with certain nouns taking different verb forms from others according to their rank in this animacy hierarchy.
Apache's phonology is very similar to that of Navajo. It has four vowels a, e, i and o, and these may all be nasalised, long, high in tone or combinations of the three.
The consonants of the western dialect of Apache are as follows:
Stop Fricative Affricate Approximant Nasal Bilabial b w m Alveolar d t t' z s dz ts ts' n Alv. lateral lh dl tl tl' l Postalveolar zh sh j ch ch' y Velar g k k' gh x* Velar labial kw ghw xw Glottal ' h*Some dialects of Apache include Jicarilla, Lipan, Kiowa-Apache, Chiricahua, Mescalero and Western Apache. Lipan and Kiowa-Apache are nearly extinct. Western Apache has a number of subdialects: Cibeque, Northern and Southern Tonto, San Carlos and White Mountain.* /x/ and /h/ are allophones; this is typical of the United States Athabaskan languages.
An Apache dictionary (Western Apache-English Dictionary: A Community-Generated Bilingual Dictionary) was recently published by Dorothy Bray and the White Mountain Apache Tribe in 1998. Some of the classification and pronunciation information has been challenged, but this remains the best reference available at present.

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a non-profit corporation to support Apache software projects, including the Apache webserver. ASF was formed from the Apache Group and incorporated in Delaware, USA, in June, 1999.The Apache Software Foundation is a decentralized community of developers working on its open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license. Each project is managed by a self-selected team of technical experts who are active contributors to the project. ASF is a meritocracy implying that membership to the foundation is granted only to volunteers who have actively contributed to Apache projects.
Among the ASF's objectives are to provide legal protection to volunteers working on Apache projects, and to protect the Apache brand name from being used by other organizations. The Apache project is the origin of the Apache-style license.
History
History of the Apache Software Foundation is linked to the Apache HTTP Server, the work on which started in 1994. A group of eight developers started working on enhancing the NCSA HTTPd daemon. They were Brian Behlendorf, Roy T. Fielding, Rob Hartill, David Robinson, Cliff Skolnick, Randy Terbush, Robert S. Thau and Andrew Wilson with additional contributions from Eric Hagberg, Frank Peters and Nicolas Pioch.The enhanced product called the Apache server was released in April, 1995. In 1999, members of the Apache Group formed the foundation to provide support for the Apache HTTP server. ASF has a strength of 105 members as of 2003.

The Apaches are a tribe of Native Americans, aboriginal inhabitants of North America, who speak the Athabascan language Apache. The Apache people migrated from the Northern Plains into the Southwest relatively recently. Noted leaders have included Cochise, Mangas Colorado, and Geronimo. The U.S. Army found them to be fierce warriors and skillful strategists.The major Apache groups include the Jicarilla and Mescalero of New Mexico, the Chiricahua of the Arizona-New Mexico border area, and the Western Apache of Arizona. Other groups were the Lipan of south-western Texas and the Kiowa-Apache of Oklahoma.
The Chiricahua Apaches were removed from their reservation in 1876 and sent to prison in 1886. Subsequently, some Chiricahua relocated to Oklahoma and some joined the Mescalero Apaches.
Some Apaches live on or near the Camp Verde Yavapai-Apache Reservation southwest of Flagstaff, Arizona which they share with the Yavapai. There is a visitor center in Camp Verde, Arizona and at the end of February an Exodus Days celebration with an historic re-enactment and a pow wow.
The Tonto Apache Reservation was created in 1972 near Payson in southeastern Arizona. Within the Tonto National Forest about halfway between Tucson and Phoenix it consists of 85 acres and serves about 100 tribal members. The tribe operates a casino.
