1) uninstall the built-in httpd:
Rpm-Qa | grep httpd
Rpm-e httpd-2.2.15-15.el6.centos -- nodeps
Rpm-e httpd-Tools

2) Find the latest download link.
Slave

3) start to install Apache
CD/usr/local/src
Wget http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/apache//httpd/httpd-2.2.24.tar.gz
Tar-zxvf httpd-2.2.19.tar.gz
CD httpd-2.2.19
./Configure -- prefix =/usr/local/Apache -- enable-vhost-alias -- enable-Rewrite -- enable-Info
Make
Make install

4) copy the initialization file and set Apache startup
CP build/RPM/httpd. init/etc/init. d/httpd
Chmod 755/etc/init. d/httpd
Chkconfig -- add httpd
Chkconfig -- level 35 httpd on

5) create a symbolic link
Check/etc/init. d/httpd to view the required files.
Conffile =/etc/httpd/CONF/httpd. conf
Httpd =$ {httpd-/usr/sbin/httpd}
Pidfile =$ {pidfile-/var/log/httpd/$ {prog}. PID}
Lockfile =$ {lockfile-/var/lock/subsys/$ {prog }}

The symbolic link is as follows:
Ln-S/usr/local/Apache // etc/httpd
Ln-S/usr/local/Apache/bin/httpd/usr/sbin/httpd
Ln-S/usr/local/Apache/bin/apachectl/usr/sbin/apachectl
Ln-S/usr/local/Apache/logs/var/log/httpd

6) start/stop the service
Service httpd restart
Service httpd start
/Usr/local/Apache/bin/apachectl start
/Usr/local/Apache/bin/apachectl stop
/Usr/local/Apache/bin/apachectl status
/Etc/init. d/httpd start
/Etc/init. d/httpd stop
/Etc/init. d/httpd restart

Use pgrep to find the started process.
Pgrep httpd

7) Check in the browser:
Http: // 192.168.0.120: 80
If you see it works, Apache is started.

8) Apache configuration file
VI/usr/local/Apache/CONF/httpd. conf
For more configure options, refer to the http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/configure.html

9) The default Apache configuration file is as follows:

#
# DocumentRoot: the directory out of which you will serve your
# Events. By default, all requests are taken from this directory,
# Symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/Apache/htdocs"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# To which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# Directory (and its subdirectories ).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set
# Features.
#
<Directory/>
Options followsymlinks
AllowOverride none
Order deny, allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

#
# This shoshould be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot.
#
<Directory "/usr/local/Apache/htdocs">
#
# Possible values for the options directive are "NONE", "all ",
# Or any combination:
# Indexes includes followsymlinks symlinksifownermatch execcgi Multiviews
#
# Note that "Multiviews" must be named * explicitly * --- "options all"
# Doesn' t give it to you.
#
# The options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# Http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# For more information.
#
Options indexes followsymlinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in. htaccess files.
# It Can Be "all", "NONE", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options fileinfo authconfig limit
#
AllowOverride none

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow, deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

#
# Directoryindex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# Is requested.
#
<Ifmodule dir_module>
Directoryindex index.html
</Ifmodule>

If you want to access your home directory, you need to create a symbollink under DocumentRoot to point to your home, and ensure that the home directory has executable permissions for everyone. For example:

[AAA @ centos_aaa cgi-bin] $ ll-D/usr/local/Apache/htdocs /~ Aaa
Lrwxrwxrwx. 1 Root 9 Apr 7 09:44/usr/local/Apache/htdocs /~ Aaa->/home/AAA
[AAA @ centos_aaa cgi-bin] $ ll-D/home/AAA
Drwxr-XR-X. 38 AAA 4096 APR 7 11: 10/home/AAA

Accessible: http: // 192.168.0.120 /~ AAA/

Complete!
