Hi I am looking for recommendations on books for Linux Apache management.

Criteria:
- you should have read or used the book!
-books should be for Linux Apache novice-intro level/commandline rookie, along the lines of something like Apache Server for Dummies (which is out of print)

-Would be nice if book would explain things in a format like :
"If you want to achieve x outcome, set y and z directives in the following manner, and this is why it works that way" are much more valuable to the new Apache admin with limited time on his/her hands than the more general "This is what directives x, y, and z do."

Thanks everyone!

Chicken is so gonna bust me for this, but I recommend that you pre-order:

Apache Administrator's Handbook
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672322749/

And not just because I co-authored it :).


Aside from that, I like:

Linux Apache Web Server Administration
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0782127347/

And of course, the O'Reilly book:

Apache: The Definitive Guide
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565925289/

I'll second the vote on Linux Apache Web Server Administration. I'll have to check out Apache Administrator's Handbook ;).
