How To Install Apache Web Server On Linux

How To Install
Apache Web Server
On Linux

Apache is an open source Web server developed by a loosely-knit group of programmers released under Apache License. The first version of Apache, based on the NCSA httpd Web server, was developed in 1995.

The original version of Apache was written for UNIX, but there are now versions that run under OS/2, Windows and other platforms.
According to wikipedia and FAQ, The name 'Apache' was chosen from respect for the Native American Indian tribe of Apache (Indé), well-known for their superior skills in warfare strategy and their inexhaustible endurance. A common misunderstanding is that it was called Apache because it was developed from existing NCSA code plus various patches, hence the name a patchy server, or Apache server.

Apache Web Servers are often used in combination with the MySQL database engine, the HyperText Preprocessor (PHP) scripting language, and other popular scripting languages such as Python and Perl. This configuration is termed LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/Python/PHP) and forms a powerful and robust platform for the development and deployment of Web-based applications.

Here, I'm going to show you how to install Apache web server on different Linux systems..

Install Apache Web Server On Ubuntu Linux

How To Install/Enable RPM Fusion Repositories On Fedora , RHEL And CentOS

RPM Fusion is a software repository that offers various free or non-free add-on packages that do not ship with the original Fedora distribution. RPM Fusion contains various useful packages that are not included in the Fedora distribution just because they do not meet Fedora's free software requirements. In this post, I will explain how to set up RPM Fusion repository on Fedora or CentOS. Once RPM Fusion is enabled on your system, you can install any package available from the repository simply by using yum command. First of all, to check whether or not RPM Fusion is installed on your system, run the following command.

yum repolist | grep rpmfusion

If the above command does not produce any result, it means that RPM Fusion is not installed on your system. RPM Fusion maintains two separate repositories for free and non-free packages. You can selectively enable either or both repositories as you want.

Set up RPM Fusion on Fedora

For Fedora 14 to Fedora 21 :

To enable the free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

To enable the non-free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

For Fedora 22 and later:

To enable the free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

To enable the non-free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'

Set up RPM Fusion on CentOS/RHEL

In order to install RPM fusion on CentOS, you first need to enable EPEL repository first. After that, proceed as follows to set up RPM Fusion on CentOS/RHEL.

To enable the free/non-free repositories of RPM Fusion on RHEL 6 or CentOS 6:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-6-1.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm

To enable the free/non-free repositories of RPM Fusion on RHEL 5 or CentOS 5:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/5/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-5-1.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/5/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-5-1.noarch.rpm

Please Run sudo dnf check-update (for feedora 22 and later) and sudo yum update (for fedora older releases..and RHEL/CentOS) once after enabling RPM Fusion Repos.

How To Enable EPEL Repository on RHEL/CentOS

If you are using CentOS or RHEL, it is strongly recommended that you enable EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository on your system. EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is a volunteer-based community effort from the Fedora project to create a repository of high-quality add-on packages that complement the Fedora-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its compatible spinoffs, such as CentOS and Scientific Linux. Once you set up EPEL repository, you can use yum / dnf command to install software packages from EPEL repos.

EPEL provide lots of packages for CentOS / RHEL, It is not part of RedHat or CentOS but is designed to work with these major distributions. Please note that EPEL only provides free and open source software unencumbered by patents or any legal issues. In short you will not find mp3, dvd and music / media player under EPEL. However, you will find many programs related to networking, monitoring, sys admin, programming and so on.

You can get Non-free softwares by install/enable RPM Fusion repository on your Fedora/CentOS/RHEL or other derivative systems.

Now see How to enable it on various versions of RHEL/CentOS :

For RHEL7/CentOS 7

RHEL7/CentOS 7 users can install EPEL repos by running following command..

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

OR
Simply , by running..

sudo yum install epel-release.noarch

For RHEL6/CentOS 6

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

For RHEL5/CentOS 5

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-5.noarch.rpm

Basic Package Management With RPM command

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages for RPM based Linux Distros. This is adopted by many Linux Distros such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora , SUSE Linux, openSUSE, CentOS, Meego, Mageia and many others.
It is also used on many other operating systems as well, and the RPM format is part of the Linux Standard Base .

Working with the rpm command

The rpm command performs the most common package-management functions, along with a host of uncommon functions as well. The table below lists the main operations you can perform with the rpm command and the command-line options to specify the given operations.

rpm command operations :

Operation	Short Option	Long Option
Upgrade/install	-U	--upgrade
Install	-i	--install
Remove	-e	--erase
Query	-q	--query
Verify	-V	--verify
Check signature	-K	--checksig
Freshen (upgrade) already-installed package	-F	--freshen
Initialize database	None	--initdb
Rebuild database	None	--rebuilddb

Using this table as a guide, you can explore the options to the rpm command. To install or upgrade a package, use the -U command-line option:

rpm -U filename.rpm

Or , You can also use rpm -i filename.rpm for installation but you can use rpm -U filename.rpm for both installation and Upgrading purpose.

Please note that you need to log in as root, or use the su command to change to the root user to install the software using rpm command:

For example, to install the mlocate RPM used as an example in this chapter, run the following command:

rpm -U mlocate-0.22.2-2.i686.rpm

To get extra feedback, you can use a command like the following, with the -h and -v options in conjunction with the -U option:

rpm -Uhv mlocate-0.22.2-2.i686.rpm

When you run this command you will see more output than the default, which is no output unless there are errors. With the -h option, the rpm command will print a series of hash marks, #, to provide feedback that the command is still running. With the -v option, the rpm command provides more verbose messages.

To remove a package (called erase in RPM terminology), use the -e command-line option:

rpm -e package_name

Notice that you install a package file using the file name that ends in .rpm, but uninstall or erase a package without the .rpm extension. This is because you install RPM files, but once installed, you work with the installed packages. The file name and the package name do not have to correspond, but typically (and sanely) they have the same base name.

To list every RPM package installed on your system, use a command like the following.

rpm -qa

Expect to wait while this command completes. Most Linux systems have numerous packages installed, which will result in many lines of output. To better see the output, you can pipe this command to the more command, as shown following:

rpm -qa | more

You will then see the package listing one screen at a time.
