Apache Server Announcements¶

Theannounce@httpd.apache.org mailing list is used to announce majorreleases and other important information about the Apache HTTP Serverproject. Messages are posted only by the Foundation; there is nodiscussion.

User Support and Discussion¶

The lists and discussion groups listed here are theonly place thatconfiguration and how-to questions belong, ever. Every day, users becomefrustrated, not with Apache, but with how nobody will help them understandhow to get started. 95% of the time, it's not for lack of helpers, but forlack of effort and well stated questions.

Before you go further, please read Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen'sexplanation of"How To Ask Questions The SmartWay". If you followtheir advice, you will discover that these forums have dozens of helpersready to provide you with guidance on using the Apache HTTP Server!Note:Do not send your Apache questions to Eric or Rick!

There are now a fewApache HTTP Server Users Mailing Lists available indifferent languages.

They are described on separate pages:

• English list

• German list

In addition, there are a few usenet discussion groups in which discussionsabout the server can be found. These include:

• comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix [nntp ] [google]

• comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows [nntp ] [google]

• comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi [nntp ] [google]

• de.comm.software.webserver(german )[nntp ] [google]

Apache HTTP Server Development Main Discussion List¶

Thedev@httpd.apache.org mailing list is used for discussions about theactual development of the server. All httpd candidates for release areannounced to this list prior to acceptance. Subscribers to this list areencouraged to 'test-drive' these candidates just before they're generallyreleased, and provide their feedback in a [vote] thread. Note thesecandidates areNOT yet released, and should not be carried onannouncement channels, until the testing is complete and they have beenvoted as released on the dev@ list.Configuration and support questions should be addressed to auser supportgroup. This list is only for discussion of changes to thesource code and related issues. Other questions are likely to be ignored.

Apache HTTP Server Bug Reports List¶

This is the mailing list to which all activity in theproblem reportdatabase is logged. If you are amember of this list, you will receive a message each time a report is addedor modified.

If you take ownership of bug by assigning it to yourself, please rememberto add this mailing list to the cc: list so that the list continues toreceive updates.

Source Change Reports¶

This mailing list is used to notify developers and other interested partiesof changes applied to the master Subversion repository. As changes areapplied, Subversion log messages are sent to all subscribers. (The listname is an artifact of the fact that we used to use CVS.)
