Apache on Windows
While a large portion of the Apache universe runs on a Linux/Unix platform in production, there is an onslaught of newcomers to Apache who often put their first sites into production on a Windows desktop. We asked the author if he had any advice for those using Apache on Windows.

"The first rule is: know your system. If you really have to (or want to) run Apache on Windows, you must know Windows inside-out. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. My advice, therefore, is: get to know Windows very well. Or, if you want to save some time and get some good results, install Linux and buy a good book to study it," Mobily advised.
