I wanted to set up a web server for my internal network. I use a perl-based web calendaring system that I wanted my mixed-platform environment to use. I also wanted to be able to punch a hole in my firewall to allow me access to my calendar when I was traveling.

Apple's Apache implementation is just a bit too daunting for me. Along comes Abyss and, presto! Now I have my system!

I've never had a problem with it. I've moved it from one Mac to another (10.4 to 10.3), I've upgraded it twice. I run it on startup, and it operates in the background as it should. I've never had a problem with it. The documentation is straightforward, as is the configuration.

This is one of the best *free* pieces of software I've ever used!
