Apache Web Server Lab - Zacham17/my-tech-journal GitHub Wiki
Brief Summary
In this lab, I installed and setup Apache and PHP on my mail01 VM to have it function as a web server as well.
How To Set up Apache on CentOS 7
- To install Apache, in the terminal enter the command,
sudo yum install httpd - Allow HTTP services through the firewall using the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=httpsudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=httpssudo firewall-cmd --reload
- Enable Apache to start on boot using the command
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service - After that command finished running, start the httpd service by entering the command,
sudo systemctl start httpd.service - To make sure the install went properly, you can enter the IP address of your web server into the address bar of a browser on the network and you should see a default webpage.
- On the web server in the /var/www/html folder, you can add an index.html file and add html code to customize your web page.
How to Set Up PHP on CentOS 7
- To install PHP on your web server, type the command,
sudo yum install php php-mysql - Restart Apache by typing
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service - Install php-fpm using the command
sudo yum install php-fpm - Add and edit the info.php file in the /var/www/html folder.
- You can add ``` to the info.php file to have the information page show
- You can add other php code to customize the php page.
- Enter the command,
sudo systemctl start php-fpm - You can view your PHP page by going to your browser and entering the ip address of your web server followed by a forward slash and the php filename. Ex: x.x.x.x/info.php
