Apache HTTP Server

Installs the Apache web server from your distribution, starts it and keeps it running.

Runs on

  • Debian / Ubuntu: supported
  • RHEL / Fedora: supported
  • Alpine: supported

What it changes on your server

  • Installs apache2 (Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine) or httpd (RHEL, Fedora).
  • Enables and starts it; it serves the default page on port 80.

What Shellbay asks you

Nothing. This workflow needs no details from you.

Steps

  1. Check port 80 is free
  2. Refresh the package list
  3. Install Apache
  4. Start Apache and enable it at boot
  5. Check the configuration and port 80

Shellbay checks the server before the first step, and stops at the first step that fails.

When it's done

  • Apache is serving its default page on port 80.
  • If a firewall is on, allow port 80 (and 443 for HTTPS).
