Use Apache2 on Ubuntu

Resume

This passage will lead you to create your own Apache server on Ubuntu.

Install

First of all, just type sudo apt-get update to update your apt, then just type sudo apt-get install apache2 to install Apache.

Once started the Apache server, we can go to localhost or 127.0.0.1 to visit the local server.

netstat

We can type netstat -d | more to see which port is being listening by Apache.

Stop

If we want to stop the Apache server, we can type sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop to stop the server.

Start and restart

Same as stop, we can type sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start to start the Apache server. And we can type sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart to restart the server.

Or just simply type

sudo service apache2 start
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service apache2 stop

Change index

We can put things into /var/www/html so that others can browse our sites here.
