Apache as Static Web Site Host
- Create a VM and Install apache
# ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc -y
# rhel
sudo yum install httpd -y
- Navigate to document root (/var/www/html)
- Create two html dummy contents
home.html
<html>
Welcome to my site home
<a href="info.html">Click Here for info</a>
</html>
info.html
<html>
Welcome to my site info
<a href="home.html">Click Here for home</a>
</html>
- The above stuff is static. To make sites interactive, we need some programming languages like PHP, Python, dotnet etc
- Apache Webserver is modular, we can extensions to apache to host php, python, dotnet core etc applications
- Major Stuff to configure applications on apache server
- Install necessary modules
- configure apache hosts
- Apache works with enabled and available
- configuration
- create a file /change the file in the conf-available folder
- once changes are done then a2enconf <name>
- modules
- create a file/change the file in the mods-available folder
- once the changes are done then exeucte a2enmod <name>
- sites
- create a file/change the file in the sites-available folder
- once the changes are done then exeucte a2ensite <name>
- If configuration is not working then we have a2dis*
- configuration
