Build your own website 1--How to install Apache Server

Operating System:ubuntu 16.04

Web Server? Most often used Web server software is freely available Apache Server. Download Apache for free? Https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache24

Unpack httpd-2.4.29.tar.bz2 to ~/downloads/httpd-2.4.29

Download apr-1.6.3.tar.bz2 and apr-util-1.6.1.tar.bz2 from http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi and unpack them to ~/ DOWNLOADS/HTTPD-2.4.29/SRCLIB/APR and ~/downloads/httpd-2.4.29/srclib/apr-util respectively.

Install Apache using the commands below

./configure--prefix=/usr/local/apache2--with-included-apr=truemakemake Install

The installation takes several minutes. After this, you can start Apache server using

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

It'll warn you

AH00558:httpd:Could not reliably determine the server ' s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the ' ServerName ' directive globally to suppress this message

This was a friendly warning and not an error. You can launch a browser and visit http://127.0.1.1 and a simple webpage saying "It works!" appears. The default document root Is/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/where we can put a hello_world.html and this HTML file ' s address Is http://127.0.1.1/hello_world.html

If you want to turn off the server, Run command

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop

The same warning appears
