openSUSE Linux provides Apache modules for four scripting languages: mod_perl,
mod_python, mod_php5, and mod_ruby. See Chapter 30, ???Using Perl and Python,??? and
Chapter 31 for more information about using these languages.
Other Web Servers
Apache may be number one in the web server business, but it is not the only one. Aside
from IIS (a commercial web server product from Microsoft), several general-purpose web
servers can run on Linux. Specialized web servers, such as the Zope application server, and
J2EE application servers, also run on Linux.
This section covers some of the server products that will run on openSUSE Linux.
thttpd
This tiny server (only 129KB), included in openSUSE Linux and installable via YaST, aims
to be a simple, small, fast, and secure web server. It??™s not as feature rich as Apache or
other server applications, but it does support CGI, Basic Authentication, virtual hosting,
and bandwidth throttling.

The Caudium WebServer is on par with Apache but again with different strengths and
weaknesses.
