Apache HTTP Server

The Apache HTTP Server is the main web server worldwide

Installation

$ su root
$ yum install httpd

If you want SSL support install also openssl and mod_ssl

$ yum install openssl mod_ssl

Enable start on boot

$ systemctl enable httpd

Configuration

Configuration files are stored under /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is the main configuration file

Apache uses port 80 for plain http connections and port 443 for SSL connections by default. To make this service available from other computers or the Internet your have to allow Apache through the firewall like this

For plain http connections

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

For SSL connections

$ firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https

However this exposes your computer to the Internet and potentially to attackers. Secure your installation properly before exposing your server to the Internet.
