How to install Apache Service in Debian OS Server?

Step1. Login to the server with SSH access

Server IP- 123.45.67.89 (login with your cloud VPS server IP)

Step2. Install Apache server

root@123-45-67-89 :~# apt-get update

root@123-45-67-89 :~# apt-get install apache2

root@123-45-67-89 :~# systemctl status apache2
root@123-45-67-89 :~# systemctl start apache2
root@123-45-67-89 :~# systemctl restart apache2

Step3. If we’ve finished the Apache installation, we can check the default webpage from the URL.

You can check with Server_IP (or) localhost.

Step4. If we want to connect with our own domain, we need to add the domain to the Apache webserver.

root@123-45-67-89 :~# mkdir /var/www/html/yourdomain_name/

root@123-45-67-89 :~# nano /var/www/html/yourdomain_name/index.html

<html>   
     <body>        
          Welcome to Myanmar Lab.    
     </body> 
</html>

Step5. Now we can check with our domain name.Step6. If we’ve finished the domain addon process in the server, we need to adjust the config file in the Apache server.

root@123-45-67-89 :~# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/myanmarlab.online.conf

<VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerAdmin admin@myanmarlab.online 
ServerName myanmarlab.online 
ServerAlias www.myanmarlab.online 
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myanmarlab.online/ 
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log 
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined 
</VirtualHost>

Step7. Now we need to change to enable virtual host files.

root@123-45-67-89 :~#  a2ensite myanmarlab.online.conf
root@123-45-67-89 :~#  systemctl reload apache2

After that, we need to disable the default Apache site.

root@123-45-67-89 :~#  a2dissite 000-default.conf
root@123-45-67-89 :~#  systemctl reload apache2

Step8. Now we can access our website with our own domain.

THANK YOU!!!
