How to install apache on centos7

Apache HTTP server is the most popular web server in the world. It is a free, open source and cross-platform HTTP server that offers powerful functionality and can be extended through various modules. The following instructions describe how to install and manage the Apache web server on a CentOS 7 machine.

Installing Apache

Apache is available in the default CentOS repository and installation is very simple. On CentOS and RHEL, the Apache package and service is called httpd. To install the package, run the following command:

sudo yum install httpd

Once the installation is complete, enable and start the Apache service:

sudo systemctl enable httpd sudo systemctl start httpd

If you are running a firewall, you will also need to open HTTP and HTTPS ports 80 and 443:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https sudo firewall-cmd --reload

We can check the status and version of the Apache service by:

sudo systemctl status httpd

Output:

httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2018-04-26 07:13:07 UTC; 11s ago Docs: man:httpd(8) man:apachectl(8) Main PID: 3049 (httpd) Status: "Total requests: 0; Current requests/sec: 0; Current traffic: 0 B/sec" CGroup: /system.slice/httpd.service ├─3049 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND ├─3050 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND ├─3051 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND ├─3052 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND ├─3053 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND └─3054 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND

sudo httpd -v
