Apache Server: Installation

Apache is free and open-source software of web servers. Apache permits the owners of the websites to serve content over the web. It is the reason why it is known as a "web server." The aim of the web servers is to deliver websites over the internet. It behaves as a middleman among the client machines and servers to achieve that aim. It can pull the content through the server over every user request. Also, it delivers this request to the web.

Apache is not any physical server; it is software that executes on the server. However, we define it as a web server. Its objective is to build a connection between the website visitor browsers (Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.) and the server.
