Hi groups,

I have a somewhat urgent necessity to learn about Apache, due to a
project I'm working on.
Have reasonably good UNIX system administration skills in many areas
but not worked on Apache at all (yes, that is possible - done some
work on web servers, but using Netscape Web server.

Sorry if this question is inappropriate. I will be reading the group
guidelines/FAQ if there is one, but thought to ask here as well:

1. Which is the "most suitable"/largest (in terms of more members of
the group) on Usenet/Google Groups, for Apache (on Linux)? of these two
that I've posted to, i.e. comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix, and
alt.apache.configuration (found from a quick Google Groups search for
"Google group for Apache".

Reason for asking: I'm going to be posting some questions (and
hopefully, over time, will post answers as well), about Apache
installation, configuration and administration on Linux.
Could be any combination of v1.3, 2.0.x or 2.2.x. Also, will probably
need to maintain two instances/installations of Apache - one for
general Web serving (including Subversion access) and one only for Ruby
on Rails. (Whew! nice way to start learning about Apache

So thought of posting on a group with more readers/posters, so as to
increase chances of getting ful replies (though, I know, there's
not necessarily a direct correlation between # of group users and
quality of answers

Thanks

Not actually what you've asked for, but I think the mailing-list
"users@httpd.apache.org" is the most active resource and there are several
developers/doc-contributors participating. Preview with GMANE here:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.user
