"We've written Apache Cookbook to be a practical reference, rather than a theoretical discourse: reading it recipe by recipe, chapter by chapter, isn't going to reveal a plot ("Roy Fielding in the Library with an RFC!"[1]). "

its recommended to build apache yourself because of all the extra modules

apache toolbox can install modules

installing a module: % /path/to/apache/ bin/apxs -cia  module.c 

all website logging is probably done though scripting apache

"erverName TheSmiths.name
ServerAlias www.TheSmiths.name Smith.Family.name"

even better:

"ServerName 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1>
    ServerName TheSmiths.name
    DocumentRoot "C:/Apache/Sites/TheSmiths"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.2>
    ServerName JohnSmith.name
    DocumentRoot "C:/Apache/Sites/JustJohnSmith"
</VirtualHost>"

deny other websites ability to link your images:

"RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !=""
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} "!^http://mysite.com/.*$" [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  "\.(jpg|gif|png)$"
RewriteRule .* - [F]"

it's amazing, there are multiple problems presented with no solutions.
