THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK

Using Virtual Web Server

software

The Virtual Server System uses Apache Web Server software to run your

Virtual Web Service. Apache is the most popular and powerful server

software available today. We have made some modifications to the Apache

software to extend its flexibility and power, but it is essentially the same

Apache software you may already be familiar with already. The

documentation found in this Handbook, on our web site, or at the Apache

web site (http://www.apache.org/) provides you with the necessary

information to understand Apache.

The Virtual Web Service also has the capability to support the optional

Secure Web Service (also known as Secure Socket Layer or SSL). If you

are conducting any kind of sensitive transactions (such as collecting credit

card information) over the World Wide Web then the Secure Web Service is

necessary. Many additional Virtual Web Service extensions, CGI scripts,

Java applets, and popular third party applications are also available. Please

see our web site for more information.
