Installing Apache Server in Linux Environment

Hi Guys,

So today, I'm going to guide you through APACHE Server installation on Linux systems. Here, I'm using Fedora 27 as my Linux environment, Even though I have used Fedora 27 here, you may free to use your favourite Linux environment as well. (e.g: RedHat, Ubuntu, CentOS and Etc..)

What is APACHE Server?

Ha ha, Simple answer is here --> Please read this to get a better understanding on What is Apache server. https://httpd.apache.org/

The Apache HTTP Server, conversationally called Apache, is free and open-source cross-stage web server programming, discharged under the terms of Apache License 2.0. Apache is created and kept up by an open network of designers under the sponsorship of the Apache Software Foundation

So Let's start

Step 1 

Code to use: dnf install httpd

Run this command in the terminal (with root privilege) to install HTTP daemon in Fedora.

Figure 1: installing httpd

Note: Normally Apache is pre-installed in Fedora by default, In case it is not there, the system will ask for the confirmation. In that case user may confirm by pressing ‘Y’ and install the HTTP package. (User may insert dnf install httpd –y directly as confirmation)
