TASK 2 :

Title: Simplifying Server Setup: Creating a Linux-Based EC2 Server and Installing HTTP with a
Bash Script

Introduction:
Setting up a Linux-based EC2 server and installing an HTTP server can be a complex and
time-consuming task. However, with the help of a bash script, you can streamline this process
and make it much more efficient. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps to create
an EC2 server and install an HTTP server using a bash script. Let's dive in!

Step 1: Log in to the AWS Management Console

Step 2: Launch an EC2 instance:


● Open the EC2 Dashboard: From the AWS Management Console, navigate to the EC2
service.
● Click on "Launch Instance" to start the EC2 instance creation wizard.
● Select an Amazon Machine Image (AMI): Choose a Linux-based AMI.
● Choose an Instance Type: Select the desired instance type for your EC2 server.
● Configure Instance Details: Customize the instance details such as the number of
instances, network settings, security groups, etc.
● Add Storage (optional): Specify the storage requirements for your instance.
● Add Tags (optional): Add any relevant tags to your instance for easier identification.
● Configure Security Group: Configure the security group settings to allow incoming SSH
(port 22) and HTTP (port 80) traffic.

● Review and Launch: Review your instance configuration and click "Launch" to create the
EC2 instance.
Step 3: Connect to the EC2 instance:
● Once the instance is launched, note down its public IP address
● Use an SSH client (such as Putty) to connect to the EC2 instance using the key pair
associated with the instance.
Step 4: Create and Configure a Bash Script:
On your local machine, open a text editor and create a new file. This file will contain the bash
script to automate the installation of the HTTP server. Use the following command to create the
text editor.

nano filename.sh (e.g., file name is install_http.sh)

Step 5: Begin by adding the necessary commands to install the desired HTTP server
software.To install apache server,type the following command on nano file -

# Update package repositories


sudo yum update -y

# Install Apache HTTP server


sudo yum install httpd -y

# Start Apache service


sudo systemctl start httpd

# Enable Apache to start on boot


sudo systemctl enable httpd
Step 6: Customize the Bash Script To customize the installation process, you can add additional
commands to configure the HTTP server according to your specific needs. This may include
setting up virtual hosts, enabling SSL/TLS certificates, or modifying the server's configuration
files.

Step 7: Save the script:


● Save the file with a meaningful name.
● Now to modify the permissions of a file named "install_http.sh" and make it
executable,type the following command:
chmod +x install_http.sh

● Once the file has executable permissions, you can run it by typing "./install_http.sh" in
the terminal.
Step 8: Now , http installation starts successfully .

Step 9: After the script completes its execution, verify the successful installation of the HTTP
server by accessing the public IP address or domain name of your EC2 instance through a web
browser. If everything was configured correctly, you should see the default page of the HTTP
server.
Step 10: Go to the your preferable browser and paste your Public IP .Your Http server is
ready.

Conclusion:
By creating a Linux-based EC2 server and installing an HTTP server with a bash script, you can
simplify the process and save valuable time. Automation is a powerful tool that allows you to
quickly set up and configure your server, enabling you to focus on other aspects of your project.
Harness the power of bash scripting to streamline your server setup and make the most out of
your EC2 instance. Happy server deployment!
