Apache = Apache Software Foundation. This is the legal organization which has all the wonderful bureaucracy in setting up rules for software development and making sure projects adhere to various countries laws.
Tomcat - Actually Apache Tomcat - the implementation of the servlet spec. A project in the Apache software foundation. Apache web server - Also know has Apache httpd - the original project which begat the the Apache software foundation. Many times when Apache is mentioned, the speaker will imply Apache httpd. That being said ... Apache Tomcat and Apache httpd are 2 different products with their own different methods of installation. You may also use Apache Tomcat without needing Apache httpd. The Tomcat FAQ has some more details about that. -Tim On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:01 PM, Fred <fdu...@yahoo.fr> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm really confused with Apache; Apache/Tomcat; Tomcat. > > Please correct me if I'm wrong: > > When I install Apache/Tomcat, I install Apache web sever and Tomcat > application sever at the same time.I could do the same thing by installing > Apache web sever, and Tomcat application > server separatelyThanks in advance, > Fred,
