This article shows the steps required to install Apache in Ubuntu 14.\u00a0Apache web server is the most used and reliable web server of the world.<\/p>\n

This tutorial assumes you have an Ubuntu server, with full root access.\u00a0The first step is access your Ubuntu server with root<\/a> by SSH. We will explain how to install Apache httpd and its modules, PHP, Perl and Python<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Install Apache in Ubuntu: starting the process<\/h3>\n

First of all, you need to update your server packages with apt-get<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get update<\/pre>\n
After completed, you can install Apache with this command:<\/p>\n
\u00a0sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils<\/pre>\n
Now, by default, the root folder of the apache is located in \/var\/www\/html<\/strong>. Let’s enter this directory by issuing this command:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/html<\/pre>\n
To test Apache, you need to know<\/a> the ip address of the server. There are two methods to do that:<\/p>\n
Method #1 , shows the current hostname of the server. This hostname usually points to the correct IP.<\/p>\n
hostname<\/pre>\n
Method #2, this prints the current IP address of the server, from the ifconfig<\/strong> output.<\/p>\n
ifconfig | grep inet | awk '{ print $2 }'<\/pre>\n
Now the IP address is known. We can now test the installed apache webserver.\u00a0Open your favourite\u00a0browser, just type your IP or hostname:<\/p>\n
\"install<\/p>\n
Install Apache modules<\/h3>\n
To install specific apache modules, we can first list the available modules. We should\u00a0first run this command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-cache search libapache2*<\/pre>\n
To install one module, just issue these commands.\u00a0The first command installs the module, and the second a2enmod, enables it into Apache.<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install [name-of-the-module]\nsudo a2enmod [name-of-the-module]<\/pre>\n
Install apache with PHP, Perl and Python modules<\/h3>\n
You can easily install apache in Ubuntu<\/a> with these\u00a0common programming modules, by running these commands:<\/p>\n
Install PHP:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5<\/pre>\n
Then, install Python:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-python<\/pre>\n
And finally, install Perl:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2<\/pre>\n
