Hi,
Here is my original question:
> I am in the process of implementing a new web server on a Sun Netra J 170
> running Solaris 2.5.1. My question is: Which web server do you recommend
> me?
> I do not care if it is a commercial or non-commercial one. My worry is
> about
> speed and security.
and here are the result to my survey:
The winner is ---->>>>> APACHE <<<<<<-------
Apache : 14 (http://www.apache.org/)
Sun Web Server : 1
Netscape Server: 2 (www.netscape.com)
Apahy : 1
WN : 1 (http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/docs/index.html)
Comments summary:
Apache: Very good for security; fast; public domain; flexible; well-supported;
runs over 50% of all webservers now; sunsolve.sun.com runs it!;
highly configurable; available on Linux, Solaris and NT; developped
by and for webmasters;
Sun Web Server: Easy to administer; runs on Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6;
bundled with Solaris 2.6 Server.
Netscape server: Security features are excellent!;
SSL: excellent!
Drawback: It is a memory HOG!
WN: Excellent security
