Why has Apache stolen my favourite sites Internet address? The simple answer is: “It hasn .
” This misconception is usually caused by the site in question having migrated to the Apache Web server software, but not having migrated the site’s content yet. When Apache is installed, the default page that gets installed tells the Webmaster the installation was successful. The expectation is that this default page will be replaced with the site’s real content. If it doesn’t, complain to the Webmaster, not to the Apache project — we just make the software and aren’t responsible for what people do (or don’t do) with it. • Why am I getting spam mail from the Apache site? The short answer is: “You aren’t.” Usually when someone thinks the Apache site is originating spam, it’s because they’ve traced the spam to a Web site, and the Web site says it’s using Apache. See the previous FAQ entry for more details on this phenomenon. No marketing spam originates from the Apache site. The only mail that comes from the site goes only to addresses that have been requested to receive the mail.
