Chapter 15.

Apache

The Apache product includes software developed by the Apache Software Foundation

(http://www.apache.org).

The Apache HTTP server is a robust and commercial-grade open source Web server used by the

majority of websites on the Internet. The Red Hat Linux distribution includes Apache, as well as a

number of additional modules which are designed to enhance the functionality of the server and add

strong encryption capabilities. Apache’s default conﬁguration should work for most users. You may

never need to change any of Apache’s conﬁguration directives. If you do want to change any of the

default conﬁguration options, you will need to know what some of the options are and where to ﬁnd

them. This chapter covers how to use and conﬁgure the Apache Web server.

Warning

If you plan to use the Apache Conﬁguration Tool (apacheconf), a GUI utility provided with Red

Hat Linux, do not edit your Apache Web server’s /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf conﬁguration ﬁle.

Conversely, if you want to edit httpd.conf by hand, do not use the Apache Conﬁguration Tool.

If you need more information on the Apache Conﬁguration Tool, please see the Ofﬁcial Red Hat

Linux Customization Guide.

After you have installed the apache package, the Apache Web server’s documentation is available

by installing the apache-manual package and pointing a Web browser to http://localhost/manual/ or

you can browse the Apache documentation available on the Web at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/. The

Apache Web server’s documentation contains a full list and complete descriptions of all of Apache’s

conﬁguration options. For your convenience, this chapter provides short descriptions of the conﬁgu-

ration directives used in the version of Apache provided with Red Hat Linux.

The version of Apache included with Red Hat Linux includes the ability to set up secure Web servers

using the strong SSL encryption provided by the mod_ssl and OpenSSL packages. When you are

reading your Web server’s conﬁguration ﬁle, be aware that it includes both a non-secure and a secure

Web server. The secure Web server runs as a virtual host, which is also conﬁgured in the httpd.conf

ﬁle. For more information about virtual hosts, see Section 15.5.
