How to configure Apache Web Server in RedHat Linux

hello guys today we will learn how to configure Apache web Server in Linux redhat and also host web page with Apache web server. We will also understand concept of web server that how to host any website in Redhat Linux server. So before you need to Configure YUM server in our Linux machine. if you don’t know how to configure yum in linux so click on link and look . After YUM server configuration we can install any package in Linux very easily

Step 1 here i accept you configure Yum in your Linux machine so fist we will install Http package

[root@localhost ~]# yum install http*

Step 2 then we off our Linux machine IP Address and also Disable Firewall and seLinux through below Commands

[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:93:6D:E8
          inet addr:192.168.56.101  Bcast:192.168.56.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe93:6de8/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:227 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:197 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:20134 (19.6 KiB)  TX bytes:25158 (24.5 KiB)

Here my ip address is 192.168.56.101

[root@localhost ~]# iptables -F
[root@localhost ~]# setenforce 0

Step 3 then we will Start httpd Service and go to any browser Url bar and put our Linux machine ip Address

[root@localhost ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

then we will look Apache web server description and instruction here

Apache web server in linux

Step 2 now we will go our Linux terminal and put below commands

[root@localhost ~]# cd /var/www/html
[root@localhost html]#

Step3 here this directory in we will create simple Html page

for example here i create index.html file

[root@localhost html]# vim index.html
<html>
<head> demo</head>
<title> Demo index File</title>
<body>
<h1> This is  Apache web Server Demo </h1>
<h2> you can found linux server all configureation in visworlditsolution.com</h2>
<marqoee><h2> visworlditsolution.com is a very help full website in it fields</h2></marqoee>\
</body>

:wq

Step4 then we will go to Apache man configuration file and do something configure like this

[root@localhost html]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

979 #
980 # VirtualHost example:
981 # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
982 # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
983 # server name.
984 #
985 #<VirtualHost *:80>
986 #    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
987 #    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
988 #    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
989 #    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
990 #    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
991 #</VirtualHost>
992 <virtualHost 192.168.56.101:80>
993 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
994 Directoryindex index.html
995 </VirtualHost>
:wq

Step5- we will restart httpd servies

[root@localhost html]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: [Thu Jan 19 05:05:47 2017] [error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Failed to resolve server name for 192.168.56.101 (check DNS) -- or specify an explicit ServerName
                                                           [  OK  ]
[root@localhost html]#

also check httpd below commands

[root@localhost html]# httpd -t

then we will on httpd server below commands

chkconfig httpd on
