Apache software foundation produces two types of web servers.
Apache HTTP used for static content that can also be equipped with modules to serve dynamic content (e.g. PHP, Ruby), as well as
Apache Tomcat which is a web-container (i.e. application server) used for serving dynamic content written in Java.
