Apache Web Server

The Apache config directory houses four basic directories: sites-enabled, mods-enabled, sites-available, and

mods-available. The sites-enabled directory is where active websites are enabled; this is done by creating a

symlink into the sites-available directory. Sites-available is a repository for all sites, whether inactive or

active. The mods-available directory houses Apache software modules, which allow administrators to

adjust the size and features of the Apache webserver to the particular needs of the application. The

mods-enabled directory enables modules to be loaded by, again, symlinking back to the relevant module

located in the mods-available directory.

ATTENTION

There are many Apache modules that may be of use to administrators in need of customizations to th

eir

webserver, such as speeding up CGI, or building heightened security. Webserver modules and features are

beyond the scope of this manual. If you wish to find a complete list and full documentation for the native

modules, please refer to the Apache webse

rver documentation, found here:

http://httpd.apache.org/modules/

For a more completely list of available modules that includes third

party modules, you may refer to Wikipedia:

Default Homepage

The Apache web server’s main configuration file is /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, with

the default homepage located at

/var/www/index.html.

Before you modify the homepage, use a browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) from

your PC to test if the Apache web server is working. Type the LAN1 IP address in the browser’s address box to

open the homepage. If the default address hasn’t changed, then when you type

http://192.168.3.127/

in the address bar of your web browser you should see Apache’s default web page.
