What's happened to Apache?!

[OwlHoot]

Time was (last time I did it, three or four years ago) when one could go to apache.org, decide whether one wanted version 1 or 2, download it and be up and running in 10 minutes.

But now everything has changed. They say we should be using version 4, which is nowhere to be seen. I can only see version 3 of what _may_ be the basic program; but I'm not even sure about that.

Anyone installed Apache recently? What is the drill now? For a start, where/how can one find the perishing thing?

edit: and according to my CV, I'm supposed to be a web developer

What O/S you using? Surely an apt-get or a yum-install is all you need?

Last time I did it I followed thisInstalling LAMP on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 (Lucid Lynx, Maverick Meerkat) | Tux Tweaks guide.

Oh, many thanks NickFitz. So it's still there.

I had been looking at this page, so no wonder I was confused! Thought they had rewritten it all in Java

Have you tried reinstalling windows as it works fine for me?

I like the How to Forge one:
The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 10.04 [ISPConfig 3] | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

I just don't do the ISP config stuff. Also the virtual mail one is handy too:

Only if it is Windows 98, best O/S ever.

Must say I don't have any complaints about Windows 7. But Microsoft will probably go and mess it up with Windows 8.

I usually start with a stock CentOS install and add what I need for the LAMP stack +
