- Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the Internet.

- .
- This package contains the Apache web server and utility programs.
- .
- Take care that you don't include apache at the moment into your image
- please select it only as module because busybox will override
- /usr/sbin/httpd. It'll be solved soon. If you need to include this
- package in the image anyway, remove httpd from busybox
- (Base system --> Configuration --> Networking Utilities --> httpd).
- Also you should take care for the initscripts, apache's httpd isn't
- compatible with the one from busybox, so if you want to use apache
- for running your webif, you'll need to change the parameters in the
- scripts and configure the rest in /etc/httpd.conf.
