Now every computer is a web server, and as a bonus you run IIS.
- olyjohn 2y agoIIS came with Windows years ago. I think it was even an optional component in Windows 98.
- DrillShopper 2y agoIt was a terrible idea then and it remains a terrible idea now.
- mepian 2y agoYeah, the component was called "Personal Web Server", I poked it recently in 86Box.
- acuozzo 2y agoThis is the case with OpenBSD. It doesn't come with Apache turned on by default, of course, but it's a part of the base install as httpd.
- icepush 2y agoThe apache based httpd was removed and briefly (For two releases I think?) replaced with an nginx one, and is now a custom written web server.
- acuozzo 2y agoDidn't they fork Apache 1.x?
- dvektor 2y agoat least we all know what apache is, what it does and doesn't do, when it's running and how to start/stop/remove it :) god knows what a microsoft webserver is doing.
