About the World Wide Web and this server
The University of Cambridge WWW server
This (http://www.cam.ac.uk/) is the central
University of Cambridge WWW server, but there are many other servers run by individual Departments
and Colleges - each server tends to concentrate on information about the host
institution, and information relevant to its staff and students. This server
provides information about the University as a whole and about the Computing
Service.
This server is running on a Sun SPARCserver 10/51 system (with Solaris 2.4),
and using the Apache WWW server
software, currently version 1.1.1. See also the
Apache Week newsletter for news
and general information about Apache.
WWW server
usage summaries
are prepared using the
analog
server logfile analysis program.
Other information about the World Wide Web
The
W3 Consortium
server includes a great deal of information about the World Wide Web, including
its history, software, protocol standards, etc. The
Web Developers Virtual Library
is a valuable collection of information and links to information about all
aspects of setting up World Wide Web servers and documents.
The Netcraft web server survey
and Web Compare are useful starting
points for anyone planning a web server and wondering about the facilities
offered by the different servers and how they compare.
