Installing and Configuring Apache HTTP Server on Linux

Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to as Apache, is the most widely used web server software. It is an open-source, cross-platform web server that is developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It can be used to serve web pages on the internet, intranet, and local networks.

To install Apache on Linux using apt, follow these steps:

sudo apt update 
sudo apt install apache2

After installation, Apache should start automatically. To verify, open a web browser and enter http://localhost in the address bar. You should see the default Apache page.

To configure Apache, you can edit the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf configuration file. You can also create virtual hosts to serve multiple websites on a single server.
