The book covers Apache's run-time configuration, introducing configuration files and contexts, and providing a complete reference to all configuration directives associated with standard Apache modules. You'll find a full chapter on Apache command line options, especially useful for startup and restart situations; references to CGI/1.1 variables, Server Side Include (SSI) variables, and more. Finally, Engelschall offers a detailed guide to Apache resources and references on the Internet, designed to help Web professionals find answers to virtually any question.
