Pros / Cons Pros 1) The server is open source database. Lots of people adding lots of features that they want on there. This ensures that the bugs will be fixed quickly 2) The web sever has been around for so many years because it has been proven as stable under the toughest of workloads. 3) Because we have access to the underlying source code and configuration files, we can easily customize or tailor the server in a way we see fit. 4) Because of it's flexibility it can support most all standards of programming etc. Things such as XML, Perl, CGI, JSP, and ony other developing technologies are already supported. Cons 1.)The server is not running in its natural environment. Unix instead of Windows. 2.)Because of the way the Apache is built it is hard to add plug-ins.
