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.
