I am a newbie with servers,
and would like to know if you can install
Apache web server on a Mac Xserve ?

thanks !

Apache comes preinstalled on all Macs running OS X and OS X server (certainly Tiger and Leopard, I don't know about the earlier versions as I have forgotten but chances are it was on them as well).
 
Great ! Is there a tutorial to set up Apache on Mac OS X Leopard ?

I'd like to set my Mac Pro Tower as a Server....

Any Apache tutorial will do. Just be aware that the configuration files are stored in /etc/apache2 rather than where they are normally stored on a Linux box. So just change the paths appropriately and you are golden.

It is also worth noting that running a web server on a home computer is pointless unless it is just for internal use. You won't have the bandwidth available to run a proper website on your computer.
