BSR Technologies: APACHE Web Server Configuration on Linux RHEL / CentOS 5&6

                       APACHE Web Server Configuration

Different web servers in world :-

Tux               :     Kernel based only text support, Very fast
Stronghold   : from RedHat Linux
Sun one        :    Also known as iPlanet from Sun Microsystems
AOL server    :    American online free web server
Apache    :    Open source

what is apache?

Apache is a freeware & is the Most Popular& widely used Web Server which consumes 60% of web market that can be configured in both windows and LINUX.

Apache Server is used to launch our web pages as websites.

service profile:

Type : System V-managed service
packages : httpd,httpd-devel,httpd-manual
Daemon : /usr/sbin/httpd
script : /etc/init.d/httpd
ports : 80(http), 443(https)
configuration file : /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

steps to configure apache :

   #yum install httpd-* -y
   #service httpd start
   #chkconfig httpd on
   #vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

copy 7 lines (line no 1003 to 1009)
paste under 1009 line
change as follows
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.22:80>
         ServerAdmin root@www.bsrtech.net
         DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bsrtech/
         ServerName www.bsrtech.net
        DirectoryIndex index.html
</VirtualHost>

(here 192.168.0.22 is our system's ip & /var/www/html/bsrtech is the document root here we have to place web pages to convert as web site, NOTE: web page must be with a name of index.html)
:save&quit

cd /var/www/html/
create directory name with bsrtech
# mkdir bsrtech
# cd bsrtech
#vim index.html
(type as follows)
   <html>
   <head>
<body bgcolor=red><conque>
   <h1> "    welcome to BSR TECHNOLOGIES" <h1>
   </body>
   </head>
</html>
:save & quit
#service httpd restart
open firefox and type in url
http://www.bsrtech.net (now the website will appear)

To launch virtual websites using virtual hostnames

#vi /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf
(line no 990) # NameVitualHost *: 80 (remove # and *:80) type ur system ip
(NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.22:80 )
copy last five lines and paste under it
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.22:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.22:80>
      ServerAdmin root@www17.redhat.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual
      serverName www17.redhat.com
   </VirtualHost>

(here we are changing system name as www17.redhat.com and document root under /var/www/virtual)
save & quit
#mkdir -p /var/www/virtual
# cd /var/www/virtual
# vi index.html
<head>
<body bgcolor=green>
<h1> "welcome to virtual website" <h1>
</body>
</head>
save & quit
#service httpd restart

to check
open mozilla
type http://www17.redhat.com

to create virtual webpages under any directory

by default selinux allows webpages which are located under /var/www/ if we want to launch a webpage which is not present under /var/www we have to change selinux context,boolean values.

ex:
# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.17>
     ServerAdmin root@xxx17.redhat.com
     DocumentRoot /cyber
     serverName xxx17.redhat.com
</VirtualHost>
save&quit
#mkdir /cyber
#cd /cyber
#vi index.html
<html>
<body bgcolor=blue>
<h1> "welcome to cyber'+'technologies" <h1>
</body>
</html>
save & quit
#chcon -R --reference=/var/www/html /cyber
#service httpd restart

to check :
open mozilla
type in url box as follows
http://xxx17.redhat.com(u will get website)

#vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
add a line in website data
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "/var/www/html/cgi-bin"
save&quit
#service httpd restart
#setsebool -P httpd_tty_comm on
