Conteúdo muito fraco, os exemplos usados não estão disponíveis para download. Muito diferente dos outros cursos que já fiz na Udemy.

You will learn information that will help you to configure an apache web server. It is at the level of beginner admin, but gets you to be able to configure relatively straight-forward web sites. Presentation style is a bit bland.

Font size of the terminal Window should be big in size , its hardly visible. Presentation slides are not uniform. Also the presenter seems to be different for course 24

Good course when you start using Apache. Sometimes the command line is difficult to read. Some lessons could be recorded a bit more bright.

Took this course to gain familiarity with Apache 2.4. I have been tasked to assess my organizations Apache installation against a DoD Security Implementation Guide (STIG). Turns out this course helped a lot as I was going through the STIG checklist.

I recommend this course for any Linux admin or anyone interested to know more about web server , In case you're engaged or handled any kind of system Admin tasks this course is for you. The instructor has presented the course in very efficient way and it seemed has years of experience of deploying , configuring and troubleshooting Apache web servers. thanks for your efforts and awaiting for new great course in future!

The information is mostly good, but there are a few little things that leave me questioning: when editing configuration files with vim, he didn't use the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste, he used the Windows clipboard, which hinted that he might not understand his tools. When downloading apache, he ignored a warning from yum about an issue with the package not being signed, which hinted that I might not be learning secure practices. And when running apache for the first time, it wouldn't run on his machine until he modified his firewall with iptables (It worked on my machine without changing my firewall, and it's not clear why), which hinted that he hadn't done a practice run of his lesson, and was going off a script. Like I said, the information is good, but I think it could be better (less confusing) if he minimized the unexplained stuff, did a practice run of all demonstrations before recording, and focused on giving the best explanations for the content he is teaching.

Hello, the explanation of this course is not good. He has not given clarity, why we have to use it, where exactly it can use it. So the proper content and explanation is to be required to understand this lessons. It is just like abcd..... So i am not happy with this.

A bit slow at the outset, and the time spend configuring the windows client box seemed unnecessary , but good coverage overall.

Pretty different from my apache2 installation on ubuntu. Even all executable names and the configuration folder names are different.

It's very detailed information but has not much to do with the PDF file downloaded prior to chapter 2.
