If you need to set up a compact, secure, easily configurable Web server in as short a time, then we recommend installing Abyss Web Server. The software is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. Depending on your needs, you may choose one of the two available editions. The free personal edition (X1) is a fully usable web server with no limitations. The professional edition (X2) includes an immediate access at no additional cost to new minor and major versions for a small amount of money. Abyss isn't open source software, but it is an interesting product and can provide a full web server with no cost, on older hardware, and with high-performance results.

I can't find how this is licensed. Is it Free or just free? If anyone found a link to the license please let me know, as I am curious.

No need to look for the license. The story itself already says that it's free-as-in-beer, not Free-as-in-freedom.

Thanks Sander.

Somehow I don't think the Apache people are going to worry to much about this one.

Lighttpd is really nice when you want a small and capable HTTP server. There are a couple others that are also good which I forget at the moment, and they're all FOSS. I don't know why any Linux or Unix admins would want Abyss, though it might be a good alternative to *shudder* IIS for windows admins.

Abyss is dead simple to administer - have you seen their control console? Good tools, especially for dealing with certificates. I'm passively looking for something similar for Apache now, although webmin isn't too far off.

Quoting:Abyss is dead simple to administer


That's what I think of Apache. The only thing that'll get me banging my head against the wall are mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess files, because they apply recursively. But that's really more of a web developer issue than an Apache administration issue.

Quoting: DSL has monkey.


I may use that as a sig.
