Apache is a cross-platform software that supports Linux, BSD, Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, and BeOS operating systems.

Installation Apache2:

To install Apache2 on VDS, you must register:

apt-get install apache2

Customization Apache2:

To configure Apache2, go to /etc/apache2/sites-available and create a file modeled on site.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName spacecore.pro # Specify the site domain
        ServerAdmin [e-mail] # Your email address
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html # The path to the site folder

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Turning on the site, the site.conf location should be the name of the config that you created:

a2ensite site.conf

If you need to disable the site, the name of the config should be instead of site.conf:

a2dissite site.conf

Rebooting apache2:

service apache2 reload

Connecting PHP to Apache2:

In order for Apache to display php files correctly, you need to install the package:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php -y

Rebooting apache2:

service apache2 reload

Enabling rewrite:

Without this option, 70% of CMS for websites will not work.

Most sites contain a file.htaccess must be registered for its operation:

a2enmod rewrite

Rebooting apache2:

service apache2 reload

Enabling SSL:

SSL connection is not required, it is carried out if it is available and you wish.

You need to enable the module that is responsible for SSL:

a2enmod ssl

Creating another config in /etc/apache2/sites-available, it will be responsible for SSL, for example site-ssl.conf:

site-ssl.conf

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName spacecore.pro # Specify the site domain
        ServerAdmin [e-mail] # Your email address
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html # The path to the site folder
        
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your_domain_name.pem # The path to the public certificate
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your_private.key # The path to the private certificate

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Rebooting apache2:

service apache2 reload

Check на nginx:

If apache2 is installed with nginx, then they will conflict due to port - 80. So you need to delete one of the web servers. Check if nginx is installed:

service nginx status

If a huge message with information is not visible, then it is not installed.

If nginx is installed, you need to delete it:

apt-get remove --purge nginx* -y

Removal Apache2

To remove Apache2, use:

apt-get remove --purge apache2* -y
