Web Server Configuration

Introduction:-

Apache HTTP Server is a webserver developed and maintained by The Apache Software Foundation. Apache is the most popular web server, used on more than half of all Internet web servers. Most Linux distributions include Apache. Apache's advantages include its modular design, SSL support, stability and speed. Given the appropriate hardware and configuration it can support the highest loads. On Linux systems, the server configuration is usually done in the /etc/httpd directory. The most important configuration file is httpd.conf.

Requirement:-

• Package = httpd
• Service = httpd
• Port No. = 80
• Configuration File = /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Per quest:-

• Configure IP = 192.168.1.1
• Configure Virtual IP = 192.168.1.10 & 192.168.1.20
• Configure Hostname = server.rootuser.in
• Firewall must be disabled

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:80>

ServerAdmin root@rootuser.in

[root@server ~]# cd /var/www/html

[root@server html]# mkdir {rootuser,anup,shubham}

[root@server html]# cd rootuser

[root@server rootuser]# cat > index.html

[root@server anup]# cd .. | cd shubham

[root@server shubham]# cat > index.html
