Test Server
OpenSuse
In this tutorial, you will be guided you trough the steps to install the LAMP Stack or - Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP with OpenSUSE Leap 42.x or 15.x or Tumbleweed as the Linux operating system. You will Install apache2 with MariaDB and PHP 8 on your Personal Computer and you will set up a virtual host for your WackoWiki installation.
1. Update your System
Before installing any software, it’s always a good idea to update repository and software packages e.g. with zypper
sudo zypper update
2.1 Download and Install Apache 2
Download and install Apache2 on openSUSE using the following command.
sudo zypper in apache2
2.2 Start Apache2
By default, Apache will not automatically start after installation. You can start it with:
systemctl start apache2.service
Check its status:
sudo systemctl status apache2
We can see from the screenshot that Apache is running and auto start enabled.
Do you want your webserver to always start at boot time?
sudo systemctl enable apache2
2.3 Test
Check Apache version:
sudo httpd -v
Output:
Server version: Apache/2.4.57 (Linux/SUSE) Server built: 2023-04-07 13:20:25.000000000 +0000
Now change into DocumentRoot,
cd /srv/www/htdocs/
create index.html file and put the following text into the file.
echo -e '<html>\n<html>\n\t<body>\n\t\t<h1>It Works!</h1>\n\t</body>\n</html>' > index.html
Then in your browser’s address bar, type the IP address 127.0.0.1 or localhost in the browser address bar. You should see the “It works!” Web page which means Apache Web server is running correctly.
http://localhost
echo -e '<html>\n<html>\n\t<body>\n\t\t<h1>It Works!</h1>\n\t</body>\n</html>' > index.html
