My simple understanding!!

Apache is a web server - it serves web pages - HTML stuff.

Tomcat is an application server - it runs Java servlets and java server pages that often or usually create HTML that a web server sends to your browser.

I see in a wiki article that .NET is considered an application server environmet - ASPs are the web part of it, I think.

Now that I've displayed my ignorance!!

What's the difference in the two...generally speaking,
between the Apache server and Tomcat ?

After putting an example up yesterday, I think my confusion comes
with all those AIX terms I see used. I had to start the LDAP server
but I had no idea why I needed to do that. That is chock full of very
unfamilar terms. The InfoCenter is a very poor excuse for a good set of
books on the subject.

After a great deal of reading and experiments, I finally got the Apache
server running and the IBM example "Phone Directory" up and going.

Waaaay too much tweaking and twisting to get something that simple
up and going.

Did I lean anything ...probably.
