RHCE Work With Apache HTTPD Web Service – Dev Ops Lanka

Introduction

Today most of web servers are Apache HTTPD .Apache HTTPD comes with everything you want to work with as modules.default port for http is port 80/TCP and for https 443/TCP.For use https you need to install mod_ssl module.For RHCE exam as best practice.im teaching you a tip.Ok Lets get start.

Installing Apache HTTPD on Redhat Linux 7

you can install httpd using

sudo yum install httpd -y

 

if you are planing to use https then you need to install mod_ssl also

sudo yum install mod_ssl

 

for the best practice i would teach you a easy step

sudo yum grouplist

 

copy Basic Web Server

then

yum groupinstall "Basic Web Server" -y

 

This will install the all the packages that you needed

Now apache httpd is installed.Now we are going to enable apache httpd to start on system start.

systemctl enable httpd

 

Now We start apache httpd

systemctl start httpd

 

now everything is perfect.we should get the apache default page

but if you are getting this page.

Because we did not allow httpd through firewall to do this

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http

 

Now reload the firewall

firewall-cmd --reload

 

Then it will allow to apache httpd and show the test page

Now we create simple web page to display

Apache HTTPD default document toot is /var/www/html.now i’m creating  sample file index.htm inside that folder.saying Hello Sameera Welcome !

nano /var/www/html/index.html

 

Hello Sameera Welcome !

now lets navigate to server0.example.com using web browser

See its working
