Apache is far and away the most widely used web server platform in the world.
This versatile server runs more than half of the world's existing web sites. Apache
is both free and rock-solid, running more than 21 million web sites ranging from
huge e-commerce operations to corporate intranets and smaller hobby sites.
With this new third edition of Apache: The Definitive Guide, web administrators
new to Apache will come up to speed quickly, and experienced administrators will
find the logically organized, concise reference sections indispensable, and system
programmers interested in customizing their servers will rely on the chapters
on the API and Apache modules.
Updated to cover the changes in Apache's latest release, 2.0, as well as Apache
1.3, this useful guide discusses how to obtain, set up, secure, modify, and troubleshoot
the Apache software on both Unix and Windows systems. Dozens of clearly written
examples provide the answers to the real-world issues that Apache administrators
face everyday. In addition to covering the installation and configuration of mod_perl
and Tomcat, the book examines PHP, Cocoon, and other new technologies that are
associated with the Apache web server. Additional coverage of security and the
Apache 2.0 API make Apache: The Definitive Guide, Third Edition essential
documentation for the world's most popular web server.

I have the 2nd edition, so the comment many not be valid.
I have little use for this book, but when I wanted to know the different fields in a standard access_log file this book didn't help. It didn't even have "access_log" in the index. Like I said I don't work with web servers much, so maybe I am missing something here.

Good for System Admins. Otherwise, not my choice.
Just as an intro, I am likely to be biased towards this book because it does not cover topics that are particularly helpful to me at this time.
If you are a System Administrator, get this book. It will help you configure Apache down to great detail. If you are a programmer, get the online information. It is more up to date.
This book did increase my knowledge of security for Apache, as security is covered well in this book. It covers troubleshooting for both Unix and Windows (As if a Windows system is secure enough to run a web server) Systems.
As I am a programmer in the Java Language, I was disappointed to see that the authors pushed toward using scripting languages with Apache rather than full programming languages. This will limit what you can do with the Apache Server. This is a very sad commentary.
Also, being a programmer, I am more interested in the APIs rather than the configuration of a Web Server. Now that the book is already outdated, the APIs in the book are no good to me. So I use the APIs provided with the Apache documentation. Not to mention, the authors recommend using Java 1.1. It has been several years since Java 1.2 has even been released. Did the authors do their research on Java before they printed the book?
This book covers the installation and configuration of mod_perl and Tomcat/j_serv, this was just fine for mod_perl (a scripting language), but did not help my cause, as I use Tomcat, and the authors are not very knowledgeable for Java based applications.
