The following steps guide you through the installation of Apache on a Debian-based system like Ubuntu. The same procedure may be applied for other Linux distributions after small modifications.
1. Update Package Repository:
First, you need to update your system’s package repository database with the following command:
`sudo apt-get update`
1. Install Apache Web Server:
Use the following command to install Apache.
`sudo apt-get install apache2`
1. Start Apache Web Server:
After completion of the installation process, start the Apache server with the following command.
`sudo systemctl start apache2`
1. Enable Apache to start on system boot:
Use the following command to enable Apache to start on system boot.
`sudo systemctl enable apache2`
1. Check If Apache is running:
You can check if your Apache server is running and working perfectly by accessing it from your web browser.
Simply navigate to your server’s IP address and you should see the Apache Ubuntu default welcome page.
`http://your server IP address`
Note: To install Apache HTTP Server on other operating systems like Windows or macOS, the steps may alter.
For a Windows system, you may need to download the Apache HTTP server from the official site and follow the prompt in the installation wizard.
For macOS, it would be much easier to use the built-in Apache server or use brew to install a new one.
The steps should always involve:
- Downloading Apache Server from the official site
- Installing it with the correct settings on your machine
- Making the suitable configurations
- Launching the service
- Checking if it is running successfully
Please refer to the detailed official tutorials based on your specific operating system and version for more information.
