===1. Update your System==== |
| 7 |
Before installing any software, it’s always a good idea to update repository and software packages e.g. with ((https://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&q=zypper zypper)) |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
%% sudo zypper update %% |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
===2.1 Download and Install Apache 2=== |
| 12 |
Download and install Apache2 on openSUSE using the following command. |
| 13 |
%% sudo zypper in apache2 %% |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
=== 2.2 Start Apache2==== |
| 16 |
By default, Apache will not automatically start after installation. You can start it with: |
| 17 |
%% systemctl start apache2.service %% |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Check its status: |
| 20 |
%% sudo systemctl status apache2 %% |
| 21 |

| 22 |
We can see from the screenshot that Apache is running and auto start enabled. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Do you want your webserver to always start at boot time? |
| 25 |
%% sudo systemctl enable apache2 %% |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
===2.3 Test === |
| 28 |
Check Apache version: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
%% sudo httpd -v %% |
| 31 |
Output: |
| 32 |
%% Server version: Apache/2.4.57 (Linux/SUSE) |
| 33 |
Server built: 2023-04-07 13:20:25.000000000 +0000 %% |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Now change into DocumentRoot, |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
%% cd /srv/www/htdocs/%% |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
create index.html file and put the following text into the file. |
| 40 |
%% echo -e '<html>\n<html>\n\t<body>\n\t\t<h1>It Works!</h1>\n\t</body>\n</html>' > index.html%% |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
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. |
