Besides some of those links mentioned in the META FAQ you should have
received, the well known "Apache" book from O'Reilly is a must have, or at
least their book "Webmaster in a Nutshell" is a handy reference for a lot of
the basic stuff regarding where certain stuff is.

The best link is the archives, just be careful to read through a thread and
not take the first coding change you come across as it may be wrong and a
later "oops" post in a thread will correct it.

Remember the "man" pages via a Telnet or SSH session. e.g., type man
procmail at a command prompt, will tell a lot.
