httpd (Apache)

Solus provides httpd (otherwise referred to as Apache) web server for web developers to test locally before uploading their work.

Installation

httpd can be installed either from the Software Center or via terminal:

sudo eopkg install httpd

Usage

Configuration and DocumentRoot

As we supply a default vendor configuration in /usr/share/defaults/httpd/, to make modifications to httpd's configuration, you must first copy /usr/share/defaults/httpd/httpd.conf to /etc/, and make modifications to the file in /etc/

By default, httpd's DocumentRoot is set to /var/www/, thus files you desire to be accessible via your httpd server must be copied to that location.

Management

Managing httpd is done via systemd, using the following commands:

sudo systemctl enable httpd # Enable on startup
sudo systemctl start httpd # Start the web server
sudo systemctl stop httpd # Stop the web server
