Apache HTTP Server Mailing Lists - The Apache HTTP Server Project

The following mailing lists relate to the Apache HTTP Server project. Users should consider subscribing to the Announcements or User Support mailing lists. Other lists are for people interested in helping with the development and debugging of the server.
List archives are available in the Apache Mail Archives.
If you are not subscribed to one of these lists, your messages will go into moderation before being approved for the list. This is a spam prevention measure.
The announce@httpd.apache.org mailing list is used to announce major releases and other important information about the Apache HTTP Server project. Messages are posted only by the project; there is no discussion.
The lists and discussion groups listed here are the only place that configuration and how-to questions belong, ever. Every day, users become frustrated, not with Apache, but with how nobody will help them understand how to get started. 95% of the time, it's not for lack of helpers, but for lack of effort and well stated questions.
Before you go further, please read Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen's explanation of "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way". If you follow their advice, you will discover that these forums have dozens of helpers ready to provide you with guidance on using the Apache HTTP Server! Note: Do not send your Apache questions to Eric or Rick!
The Apache HTTP Server Users Mailing List is described on a separate page.
The dev@httpd.apache.org mailing list is used for discussions about the actual development of the server. All httpd candidates for release are announced to this list prior to acceptance. Subscribers to this list are encouraged to 'test-drive' these candidates just before they're generally released, and provide their feedback in a [vote] thread. Note these candidates are NOT yet released, and should not be carried on announcement channels, until the testing is complete and they have been voted as released on the dev@ list. Configuration and support questions should be addressed to a user support group. This list is only for discussion of changes to the source code and related issues. Other questions are likely to be ignored.
This is the mailing list to which all activity in the problem report database is logged. If you are a member of this list, you will receive a message each time a report is added or modified.
If you take ownership of bug by assigning it to yourself, please remember to add this mailing list to the cc: list so that the list continues to receive updates.
This mailing list is used to notify developers and other interested parties of changes applied to the master Subversion repository. As changes are applied, Subversion log messages are sent to all subscribers. (The list name is an artifact of the fact that we used to use CVS.)
This mailing list supports the Apache HTTP Server Documentation Project, which coordinates improvements and translations of the server documentation. Subscribe here to discuss documentation changes and contribute.
