Explore Apache Server Configuration?

I want to try out every aspect of Apache. Will a single Machine enough to try out the server.What I mean is A Single Server Machine is enough to test out Apache configuration. Any tutorial where I can try out every configuration setting with Apache like VirtualHost, CustomLog, ErrorLog, apache tools etc etc

I am not sure I understand the question (actually, I am not sure there is a question in the first place here).

But any machine that has Apache installed can use all functions of Apache. There are no limitations on what you can do based on your distribution or anything like that.

Sorry if I am unable to ask the question correctly.
Let me try this way:

Is One Machine enough to learn and explore Apache Server configuration?

You can do everything on one machine, that is one of Apache's greatest strengths, that it let's you do so much on a single machine.

The only thing you could need multiple machines for would be something like failover clustering. But this is not strictly an Apache function, Apache can just be made to work in a cluster situation with additional software and configuration.

Any link where I can find hands-on experience on Apache?
