Microhttpd - really small HTTP server Fetch the software. Microhttpd is a very small Unix-based HTTP server. It runs from inetd, which means its performance is poor. But for low-traffic sites, it's quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server, including: Security against '.' Filename snooping. The common MIME types.

Learn how to install and configure Apache web server in Linux. Understand the httpd configuration file and how to start, stop & enable Apache (httpd) in Linux.

1. Feb 23, 2015 Apache Server Configuration File is usually called httpd.conf. The httpd.conf file is well-commented and has a directives which you can set and manipulate in order to set your server's behavior.
2. The Apache HTTP Server, httpd, is an open source web server developed by the Apache Software Foundation. If you are upgrading from a previous release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you will need to update the httpd service configuration accordingly. This section reviews some of the newly added features, and guides you through the update of prior.

UNDERSTANDING THE SUBJECT MATTER

Apache, also called Apache http server is an open-source web server. A web server, of course, is responsible for handling web requests from various computers hitting the web. (No web server, no website).

Just as there is an Apache web server, there are also a lot of web servers out there such as Nginx, IIS, Tomcat, etc.

Tomcat is also called Apache tomcat because it is developed by the same company that developed Apache (Apache Software Foundation)

Apache is a very popular and commonly used web server and can run on both Linux and Windows operating systems.

Just as Nginx, Apache can handle hundreds of thousands of connections trying to fetch information from the web concurrently.

With Apache, you can customize your configuration by using the “.htaccess” file.

When it comes to the Content Management System (CMS) such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, they all work perfectly well on Apache, even without less or no configuration, hence why most web hosting companies use Apache and now Nginx as their web servers.

Apache application/daemon for Linux is “httpd”

The same way you start other services on Linux is also the same way Apache is started.

To start Apache, use the command

To Stop Apache, use the command,

To enable Apache, use the command,

core apache configuration file is in the path /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)

Let’s see the contents in this file.

search for the line “DocumentRoot”

you can see the httpd document root (/var/www/html). It is one of the important parameters in the httpd configuration file.

Every website file will have to be on this path. The document root can be changed, especially for hardening web server security.

We will look at how to successfully change the document root of httpd when we get to the advanced configuration in another lesson.

httpd by default listens on port 80.

If you know LEMP stack, you will also know LAMP stack.

LAMP stack consists of (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). They are all web development software used to manage web applications.

How to install LAMP stack in Linux (RHEL 8 / CentOS 8)

And Of course, in the “ACTION TIME” of this lesson, we will install Apache & configure a basic website.

To install PHP, click on this link.

Having understood what Apache is, let’s get to installing and configuring Apache for a basic website.

How To Install & Configure Apache httpd On Linux (RHEL / CentOS 7 & 8)

Robert McCool

we will look at how to configure Apache for a basic website.

1. Install Apache web server

2. create a web file in the document root location.

Service Httpd Stop

3. Start the httpd service

4. If you wish, you can enable the httpd service

5. Verify the service has started

6. Test your configuration

You can use any browser or use a text-based browser such as elinks.

To use elinks in RHEL 7, install elinks by using the command,

To install elinks in RHEL 8 or CentOS 8, click on this link

7. Now that elinks has been installed, do a test.

press the enter key to open the file

You can see that the web server is properly configured.

In another tutorial, we will look at the advanced configuration of the Apache web server

NCSA HTTPd is an early, now discontinued, web server originally developed at the NCSA at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign by Robert McCool and others.^[1] First released in 1993, it was among the earliest web servers developed, following Tim Berners-Lee's CERN httpd, Tony Sanders' Plexus server, and some others. It was for some time the natural counterpart to the Mosaicweb browser in the client–serverWorld Wide Web. It also introduced the Common Gateway Interface, allowing for the creation of dynamic websites.

After Robert McCool left NCSA in mid-1994, the development of NCSA HTTPd slowed greatly. An independent effort, the Apache project, took the codebase and continued; meanwhile, NCSA released one more version (1.5), then ceased development. In August 1995, NCSA HTTPd powered most of all web servers on the Internet;^[2] nearly all of them quickly switched over to Apache. By April 1996, Apache passed NCSA HTTPd as the No. 1 server on the Internet, and retained that position until mid-to-late 2016.^[2]
