 The Apache Web server is one of the most fascinating success stories in the Internet software business. This open-source product has arguably become the most used Web server on the Net. Apache Server Unleashed offers traditional documentation of this unconventional product. A key aspect of Apache is its modularity. Webmasters are free to custom-build Apache installations that precisely fit their needs by compiling only the software modules they want. The authors do a good job of exploring these possibilities but still manage to present the material in an organized, topical manner. They take a little time along the way to delve into some key related technologies such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI), cookies, Perl, and Personal Home Page (PHP)--a very popular server-side scripting language frequently used to add the smarts to Apache applications. The chapters are all rather bite-size, making this book easy to digest for those with scattered chunks of reading time. To get the most from Apache, a solid understanding of C programming is a must. Even so, this book offers much for the nonprogrammer interested in learning about Apache. Included is a CD-ROM containing the source code for the Apache 1.3.9 release, as well as several third-party utilities like Comanche--a key administration tool. If you have experience with commercial Web servers and are curious what all the fuss is about with Apache, this title offers a well-rounded look at the hottest Web server around. --Stephen W. Plain Topics covered: Installation, server configuration files, configuration with Comanche, MIME types, proxy and cache server use, CGI programming, server-side includes, cookie implementation, security and auditing, authentication, logging, Apache modules, Perl module, PHP module, and Apache API. Dictionary of Networking --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  At Last--Clear and Comprehensible Definitions of All the Networking Acronyms, Terms, and Abbreviations You Need to Know The Dictionary of Networking is a highly readable, authoritative guide to the extensive--and often bewildering--terminology of network computing. This completely updated, expanded third edition spans all aspects of networking hardware and software--from peer-to-peer networks to enterprise wide area networks (WANs), the Internet, and internetworking--and covers every major network operating system. Topics include: * Certification programs * Communications * Industry standards * The Internet and intranets * LANs, MANs, WANs * Mobile and wireless computing * Network administration * Networking theory and concepts * Operating systems and environments * PC and server hardware * Protocols * Security * Slang * Voice and data transmissions This book contains more than 3,000 entries. Abbreviations and acronyms are cross-referenced to their definitions, and many entries include additional cross-references to related entries. You'll find clear, concise definitions, acronyms and abbreviations defined in context.
 Getting started is an apt description for not only the beginning of this book, but also for your work toward achieving Network+ certification. CompTIA’s Network+ is one of the premier certifications that professional network engineers worldwide select to advance their technical expertise and launch their careers in the Information Technology (IT) industry. Networking is one of the hottest topics in IT, and to move to the top of the IT field, you must understand networking at the detail level. This book is intended to start you on the path to Network+ certification What’s interesting about CompTIA’s Network+ certification is that it teaches basic networking concepts that are not tied to any particular vendor’s products. These concepts apply for any type of server or workstation that communicates across a network, and they’re valid in any environment. This is one of the main reasons that people select Network+ certification—the concepts you must know to earn it will be useful for as long as networks exist.
If you run a network that uses Microsoft Windows 2000 or any of the other network operating systems (NOSs) out there, you know that certain specific concepts apply only to that particular NOS. The Network+ certification does not ignore this fact. In Network+, you are required to know the basics of Windows networks, Novell NetWare, Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux, in addition to how to network Windows workstations.
This book is organized to help you study for the Network+ examination. The majority of the material offers detailed information about networking theory and models, building from fundamentals to more complex subjects.
 The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a glorious thing. It takes familiar Internet network and machine names (like "amazon.com") and converts them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (like "208.35.218.15") that are meaningful to routers and therefore useful for identifying the machine you want to reach. What's amazing is that DNS enables someone in Germany to refer, by name, to a computer in Mongolia even if no one in Germany has ever accessed the distant machine before. It's pretty much self-configuring, too: No human effort in Germany is necessary to make the Mongolian machine reachable by name. DNS and BIND explains how DNS works better for this than any other piece of documentation, printed or otherwise. The work of Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu, now in its fourth revision, has long been considered a classic among systems administrators and network architects, particularly those with a Unix bent. The fourth edition is mainly an update: The authors have added coverage of incremental and conditional zone transfer with BIND's new NOTIFY features, as well as of Transaction Signatures (TSIG), and DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). Sections on firewalling and DNS for IPv6 addresses have been expanded. Throughout, Albitz and Liu maintain their impeccable style, combining text and illustrative listings into an educational whole. 
The goal of Servicing HP ProLiant Server Products is to ensure a consistent base level of expertise among service engineers certified to install, configure, upgrade, troubleshoot, and repair ProLiant server products. This course focuses on providing the knowledge and skills needed to provide these services. To meet this goal, field service engineers should be able to:
1. Demonstrate the ability to quickly locate service documentation and accurate product-service information.
2. Demonstrate knowledge and ability needed to use service resources in configuring, upgrading, and servicing ProLiant servers.
3. Demonstrate technical proficiency and skills by working with HP products in a lab environment.
4. Demonstrate logical troubleshooting skills by problem recognition, problem isolation, solution development, and testing for proper operation.
