Linux is a popular platform for running a web server. Although Microsoft Windows has made significant inroads with their server application (Internet Information Server,) Linux has a very capable server in the Apache webserver project.
Apache is a fully modular and extensible web server that is open-source software through the Apache license. There are hundreds of modules and extensions that allow you to customize Apache to specialize for your purposes.
Through modules and extensions, apache supports the following scripting languages:
- PHP
- Perl
- Ruby
- CGI (shell scripting)
- Active Server Pages (ASP)
- Java Server Pages (JSP)
