The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide

FrontPage Extensions explanation


This entire chapter should be summed up by the second paragraph of the chapter: Entire books have been written solely on setting up a webserver on UNIX, let alone FreeBSD, so I am not attempting to describe all that can be done on a FreeBSD server.

With that said, I do regret not devoting the space to expanding on the topic of this chapter. There are so many neat things that can be done with webserving on FreeBSD. But, as an ISP administrator, I can say that 95% of all Web sites that our customers pay to field on our equipment consist purely of static HTML, and our customers lean heavily toward business clients. My experience is that there simply isn't the interest level in complex webserving of any kind (let alone on FreeBSD) that there is in more mundane tasks like setting up mailservers, printservers, etc.
