Apache has an active mailing list. There is a lot to be learned by just reading the postings.  But. . . Their answers to questions are often fairly geeky even though they are correct. There must be an archive but I haven't been there. A message to List-help would likely reveal it.

O'Reilly "Apache, The Definitive Guide" 1-56592-528-9 is where I learned most of what I know. There's surely a newer version by now.

Apache is a UNIX daemon that monitors a port, usually 80. You do have to understand that much about the basics of UNIX. It's a lot easier than understanding Lion gestures, believe me.
