    Installing Apache Web Server in Ubuntu Linux Server

    Objectives: After the end of the activity, the students will be able to:

    Install and Configure Apache Web Server in Linux


    Create Website and Deploy it in Apache Web Server
    Test the configuration

    Procedure:

    Step 1: Open VM Ware Ubuntu Linux Server, and now Login on the shell on the server as user your
    created during installation. The username may differ if you have chosen a different name during setup.

    Step 2: Install the Apache Web Server using the code below:

    sudo apt-get update


    sudo apt-get install apache2
    Operation Sheet 3.1: IIS by: Dr. Patrick D. Cerna Page 2
    Step 3: Adjust the Firewall

    Before we can test Apache, we need to modify our firewall to allow outside access to the default web ports.
    Assuming that you followed the instructions in the prerequisites, you should have a UFW firewall configured
    to restrict access to your server.

    sudo ufw app list

    You should get a listing of the application profiles:

    Output

    Available applications:
    Apache
    Apache Full
    Apache Secure
    OpenSSH

    As you can see, there are three profiles available for Apache:

    Apache: This profile opens only port 80 (normal, unencrypted web traffic)
    Apache Full: This profile opens both port 80 (normal, unencrypted web traffic) and port 443
    (TLS/SSL encrypted traffic)
    Apache Secure: This profile opens only port 443 (TLS/SSL encrypted traffic)

    Step 4: Allow Apache Full to open port 80 and port 443

    For our purposes, we will allow incoming traffic for the Apache Full profile by typing:

    sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'

    Operation Sheet 3.1: IIS by: Dr. Patrick D. Cerna Page 3


    Step 5: Verify the status of ufw

    You can verify the change by typing:

    sudo ufw status

    You should see HTTP traffic allowed in the displayed output:

    Output
    Status: active

    To Action From
    -- ------ ----
    OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere
    Apache Full ALLOW Anywhere
    OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
    Apache Full (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)

    Step 6: Check if Apache Web Server is running

    When you have your server's IP address or domain, enter it into your browser's address bar (This is
    through your Windows 7 /10 Client)

    http://server_domain_or_IP or http://10.0.4.242
    You should see the default Ubuntu 16.04 Apache web page, which should look something like this:

    Operation Sheet 3.1: IIS by: Dr. Patrick D. Cerna Page 4


    Step 7: Go to the HTML Directory

    Type the following command to go HTML Directory

    Cd /var/www

    Step 8: Create an HTML Page by typing the command:

    sudo nano home.html

    Operation Sheet 3.1: IIS by: Dr. Patrick D. Cerna Page 5


    Once the editor is open type the following HTML code:

    <html>
    <body>
    <h1>Welcome to my Apache Web Server</h1>
    <p>Amasedgenalehu </p>
    </body>
    </html>

    Step 9: Test the HTML page

    When you have your server's IP address or domain, enter it into your browser's address bar (This is
    through your Windows 7 /10 Client)

    http://10.0.4.242/home.html

    Step 10: Starting, Stoping, and Restarting Apache Web Server

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start


    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
