Configuring Apache HTTPD

Apache HTTPD 简介

Apache HTTPD is one of the most used web servers on the Internet. A web server is a daemon that speaks the http(s) protocol, a text-based protocol for sending and receiving objects over a network connection. The http protocol is sent over the wire in clear text, using port 80/TCP by default (though other ports can be used). There is also a TLS/SSL encrypted version of the protocol called https that uses port 443/TCP by default.

Installing

yum -y install httpd httpd-manual

Configuring

Configuration file and root directory:

  • /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf - default configuration
  • /var/www/html - default directory for all requests

Network security

  • firewalld has two predefined services for httpd
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http --add-service=https
firewall-cmd  --reload
  • to check SELinux allowed port sets
semanage port -l | grep '^http_'
  • Add a SELinux rule to allow use an alternate document root
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/new/location(/.*)?'
  • Create a test page

Create the /var/www/html/index.html file and any content.

Start and enable

systemctl start httpd.service
systemctl enable httpd.service

Testing

Open a web browse access the following 2 urls:

  • http://localhost
  • http://localhost/manual
