Which book on administering UNIX web servers to read?

Question

linux

Hello, tell me good books on administration, I am interested in the direction of working with web servers in UNIX systems for beginners so that it would not be a shame to try to get a support / administration job at least as an intern.
You need a book to understand the theory. That is, I can see the configs of a specific server in mana, which I am doing now. But I would like to understand what is happening inside the shaitan machine, and not engage in tuning using the monkey method.
Although I am writing a book, I can do more than one, the main thing is that they have less water in them. If in English, then only written in oak language, as for morons.
Yes, the advice to put LAMP at home and twist it does not work, I have a couple of VDS with projects, this is a little different.

Answer 1

I haven't read a single book on administration in my entire life. Successfully worked for several years as the only server administrator in one fairly large operator.
My recipe is reference materials.
When you need to solve a problem, find out how.
In general, all serises work in the same way: a config file, a script that passes its parameters when the server starts, and logs that will tell you what is wrong.
You just take and read about a specific server before you give it to production. If before that you launch for yourself without manuals, you will also get pleasure from the quest :)
In general, “administration” is too general.
You can start by understanding the configuration of everything whose configs are in /etc (recursively) of a newly installed system. Directly alphabetically.
As you understand how everything works, you do exactly the same with the services that you run on this machine (httpd, ftp, smtp).
This is quite enough for me in my opinion :)
You can start using Linux as a home OS. You will quickly begin to understand it :) and at the same time no one will suffer, and your epitaph will not be “He was a brave but stupid administrator”
Good luck :)

Answer 4

I personally read about specific services. The first one, as I remember now, was exim - there were no special books, I just opened the documentation on the site - and go ahead. I found answers to some individual questions in Google, but the main thing is the dock from the site. And that was enough for me to change sendmail to exim in a few days at the first job in my life.
Also, in general, I was helped to know the Tao of Unix by Robachevsky's book "The Unix Operating System" - but it's not about web servers, but about the general concepts of Unix, the main ideas.
