I don't do much of Linux-y stuff but it is always nice to see a fellow nano user.

[@drdeepee2503]

Some commands I wrote down from the video: apt install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils (apache installation) systemctl status apache2 systemctl enable apache2 (if auto restart disabled for some reason) systemctl start apache2 systemctl restart apache2 systemctl reload apache2 (more graceful than restart, but not always an option) apt search libapache2-mod (list all apache modules possible for installation) apt install libapache2-mod-python (example python module installation) apt install libapache2-mod-perl2 (example perl) a2enmod (enable an installed module) a2dismod (disable an enabled module) name based virtual hosts (multiple websites on the same server) a2ensite (enable a web site) a2dissite (disable a web site) /etc/apache2/sites-available/"yourwebsite.conf": config files for a given virtual host create directories listed in "yourwebsite.conf" (apache doesn't create directories) mkdir -p /full/path/listed/in/conf a2ensite

I appreciate this. Part of the excellent support associated with Linode.

[@Eurobunker]

Thank you soooo much for the Perl config example @16:36 May I humbly ask You how You deal with "Session Management" in Your way of adding Perl? Is it the CGI-way? Which module takes care of session variables in Your configuration? I have to deal with the "ASP-Classic" (the 90s) way using "mod_perl". Do You know the difference? I inherited the following configuration: PerlSwitches -U AddType text/html .pl SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry Options +ExecCGI PerlOptions +ParseHeaders - any opinion about the difference or a comparison? Anyone? Additional question: is *Options +ExecCGI* the same as *Options ExecCGI* ?

[@mr.onelife5195]

Are there any books that I could use to learn apache ? I am having a hard time locating resources for learning it as a beginner.

[@jacquesebot9382]

Thank you

Thanks You !

[@prabhur764]

Very nice vide. you explained many commands and its usage. Waiting for more videos from you. Please make a video of apache2 proxy, pointing to different ports, etc..

[@Tijme]

I can't connect to my apache2 server from other networks. Running on a Raspberry Pi. Port forwarding enabled.

[@zakhariihusar6975]

Nice tutorial 👍. Can someone tell me: i added free SSL certificate with let's encrypt so it created a new ssl default conf file in "sites-available", then i can delete the standard one? And also should i add some PHP config lines if it already works fine?

[@madkvideo]

Jay is the man

[@UndyingEDM]

Is apache easier than django? I happen to know Python, so what would the answer be for someone like me vs someone who doesn't know python either?

[@sumeetsmahajan]

Me a fan too :)

[@Eurobunker]

I am new to web servers and "have to deal with" PERL, so I guess I won the "jackpot". Oh dear. I had a smile when you installed the PERL module ;-) as of 2021, too. @9:37 like a boss!!! I am still confused on where to edit conf files since there are so many. - Shall I do anything with the *envvars* file in /etc ? Does this file provide the environment variables like *${APACHE_LOG_DIR}* ? Shall I set those variables somewhere or just delete the *${APACHE_LOG_DIR}* entry and hack in the absolute directory into *apache2.conf* instead? (best practice question)

[@nicolal.1171]

Great job thx!

I am following this tutorial and I still can't access my website thru the internet. I am getting an error message "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access this resource"

[@JasonRobards2]

Very concise. Used it try set up my first remotely hosted website. Previously I had followed a different tutorial that ran a page through a gunicorn service. I thought this would be even simpler. Unfortunately the config file does not seem to redirect to my domain name. There must be more to it then what is shown in this video. Kinda frustrating there is so little reliable material to find on this subject.

[@JasonRobards2]

It turns out... My Digital Ocean server has specific requirements on where to put the server files. DO has excellent tutorials, you just have to be smart enough to use them :)

[@noweare1]

@@JasonRobards2 DO has some of the best tutorials. Nearly as good as this youtuber.

[@hydro6527]

Hi can you do a video on nginx and Apache on same server

[@derinicktheseven477]

Compared to the other tutorials out there, this is amazing. Please make more Linux tutorials or where to start for going about securing your web server/site.

[@mrafayshams3089]

I'm a complete beginner at this, therefore apologies for my questions. Can we host websites for free using Apache2? I'm an EE working on Embedded Linux based IoT applications. The linux based SBC recieves sensor data and saves the data in local files (for now). I want to use Apache2 to host a website that uses the sensor data saved on the SBC's root file system and displays it in a meaningful manner (graphs, etc). Can this be achieved with Apache2?

[@astarte_xo8226]

Yes you can. You will also need a domain name which costs money but that is the only real expense if you self host.

[@noweare1]

You can but unless you know how to secure your pc against hackers I would not do it that way. You'll be opening a port to the public.

[@dev.rahulgurjar]

I'm unable to connect Apache sir????

[@gsantos7622]

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code"

[@noweare1]

You have an error in your conf file. see the error by using "sudo systemctl status apache2"

[@laszlob3683]

how to do the same without linode tho

[@sokhinnikita1493]

Why did you use "apt dist-upgrade" instead "apt upgrade"?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

"apt-upgrade" is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system. In addition to performing the function of upgrade, "apt dist-upgrade" also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages. More details about the use of "upgrade" and "dist-upgrade" can be found in the official manual page here manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/impish/en/man8/apt-get.8.html

I unable to find etc/hostname I°m running debian 11

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Make sure you have the "/" in front of "etc". You can also create the file in that directory if it does not exist.

[@DannyLyriCa]

This has really helped me understand what the bare minimum is, now i sort of see how i can make my server! thanks.
