Apache is a freely available Web server that is distributed under an "open source" license. Version 2.0 runs on most UNIX-based operating systems. cPanel & WHM manages the Apache web server and its components with EasyApache. When you install cPanel & WHM version 11.52 or later, the default (fast) installation method uses a precompiled default EasyApache configuration, which includes the basic requirements for a functional web server. cPanel & WHM versions 11.50 and earlier compile EasyApache during the installation process.
