#Apache #WebServer on #CentOS8
Prerequisites
You will need the following to complete this guide:
A non-root user with sudo privileges configured on your server, set up by following the initial server setup guide for CentOS 8.
Ensure that a basic firewall is configured by following Step 4 of the Initial Server Setup with CentOS 8 (recommended) in the above guide.
Step 1 — Installing Apache
Apache is available within CentOS’s default software repositories, which means you can install it with the dnf package manager.
As the non-root sudo user configured in the prerequisites, install the Apache package:
sudo dnf install httpd
Next, reload the firewall to put these new rules into effect:
sudo firewall-cmd –reload
Configure Apache to permanent http service firewall,
sudo firewall-cmd –permanent –add-service=http
Step 2 — Checking your Web Server
Apache does not automatically start on CentOS once the installation completes, so you will need to start the Apache process manually:
sudo systemctl start httpd
To re-enable the service to start up at boot, type:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
Verify that the service is running with the following command:
sudo systemctl status httpd
reload the firewall
sudo firewall-cmd –reload
Check host IP
hostname -I
Step 3 — Managing the Apache Process
To stop your web server, type:
sudo systemctl stop httpd
To start the web server when it is stopped, type:
sudo systemctl start httpd
To stop and then start the service again, type:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
If you are simply making configuration changes, Apache can often reload without dropping connections. To do this, use this command:
sudo systemctl reload httpd
By default, Apache is configured to start automatically when the server boots. If this is not what you want, disable this behavior by typing:
sudo systemctl disable httpd
