The Apache package contains an open-source HTTP server. It is useful for creating local intranet web sites or running huge web serving operations.

Installation of Apache

For security reasons, running the server as an unpriviledged user and group is strongly encouraged.

groupadd apache &&
useradd -c apache -d /dev/null -g apache -s /bin/false apache

Build and install Apache by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib/apache \
            --sysconfdir=/etc/apache \
