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.
Formatted archives are available in several places including the Apache Mail Archives , MarkMail , and MARC. Raw mbox archives for most lists are available at http://httpd.apache.org/mail/. You can also use the mail-to-news gateway offered by GMANE to access most of the lists with a news reader.
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 Foundation; 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!
There are now a few Apache HTTP Server Users Mailing Lists available in different languages.
They are described on separate pages:
In addition, there are a few usenet discussion groups in which discussions about the server can be found. These include:
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 mailing list is for people who are actually involved in writing third-party or private modules for the Apache HTTP server. It is a peer support list for programmers to discuss issues surrounding the development of web server modules using the Apache HTTP Server module and APR APIs. It was historically hosted at apache-modules@covalent.net, now closed, but still archived on MARC (see Archives, below).
