Setting up Apache

Steps

• Install httpd service on Linux Box
• Enable ports 80 and 443

firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp --permanent

firewall-cmd --add-port=443/tcp --permanent

• Then start the httpd service using systemctl

systemctl start httpd

systemctl enable httpd

• Delete default page in base httpd directory, and create index.html in /var/www/html
• add your own html code and you are done, you have a working local web server :)
• To add a php page, just install the service php and restard httpd systemctl restart httpd
• Then create a .php page in the /var/www/html directory and you are all set.
