Apache Installation and Configuration

/ October 3, 2016 — Web

First, get the current Apache distribution from Apache.org, and extract it:

[root@srv-3 src]# ls
apache_1.3.19.tar.gz  bind-9.1.2  bind-9.1.2.tar.gz  webmin-0.85.tar.gz
[root@srv-3 src]# tar -xzf ap*.gz
[root@srv-3 src]#
[root@srv-3 src]# ls
apache_1.3.19         bind-9.1.2         webmin-0.85.tar.gz
apache_1.3.19.tar.gz  bind-9.1.2.tar.gz
[root@srv-3 src]# cd ap*
[root@srv-3 apache_1.3.19]# ls
ABOUT_APACHE  config.layout  INSTALL  Makefile.tmpl     src
Announcement  configure      KEYS     README            WARNING-WIN.TXT
cgi-bin       htdocs         LICENSE  README.configure
conf          icons          logs     README-WIN.TXT

Now, let’s configure with the GNU file layout, make, and make install:

[root@srv-3 apache_1.3.19]# ./configure --with-layout=GNU
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.19

+--------------------------------------------------------+
| You now have successfully built and installed the      |
| Apache 1.3 HTTP server. To verify that Apache actually |
| works correctly you now should first check the         |
| (initially created or preserved) configuration files   |
|                                                        |
|   /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
|                                                        |
| and then you should be able to immediately fire up     |
| Apache the first time by running:                      |
|                                                        |
|   /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start
|                                                        |
| Thanks for using Apache.       The Apache Group        |
|                                http://www.apache.org/  |

Let’s start Apache and verify it works with lynx:

[root@srv-3 apache_1.3.19]#
[root@srv-3 apache_1.3.19]# /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started
[root@srv-3 apache_1.3.19]#
[root@srv-3 apache_1.3.19]# lynx srv-3
Test Page for Apache Installation
If  you  can  see  this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this
system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page.

Seeing this instead of the website you expected?
This  page  is  here  because  the  site  administrator has changed the configuration of this web

The Apache documentation has been included with this distribution.
You are free to use the image below on an Apache-powered web server. Thanks for using Apache!
Commands: Use arrow keys to move, '?' for help, 'q' to quit, '<-' to go back.

All works, and we are happy.
