Packages required – httpd

These are the things to be thought of while setting web server.
Step 1: Install the web server packages using yum
# yum install httpd*
Step 2: Edit the configuration file which is "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf"
# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
> find the line containing this one (around line nu 270)
#ServerName www.example.com:80
and make it as
ServerName server.example.com:80
Here server.example.com is the hostname of my server
> next, find the line containing ( around lin nu 990)
#NameVirtualHost *:80
and make it as below
NameVirtualHost 172.16.0.1:80
Here 172.16.0.1 is the ip of my server.
> now edit the last 7 lines
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>
as
<VirtualHost 172.16.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin root@server.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName server.example.com
ErrorLog logs/server.example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/server.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
ServerAdmin root@server.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName server.example.com
ErrorLog logs/server.example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/server.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
> of the above mentioned configuration
"DocumentRoot /var/www/html" is the location of our index.html page.
"ServerName server.example.com" is the name which is used to browse/access the content in the "/var/www/html" directory.
Thats all about editing the configuration file. Now save and quit the editor.
Step 3: Now create the contents in the default web server's home directory (index.html)
# vim /var/www/html/index.html
===============================
<html>
<head><title>Home Page</title></head>
<body>
<font size="10">
<b>Welcome to server.example.com</b>
</font></body></html>
===============================
<head><title>Home Page</title></head>
<body>
<font size="10">
<b>Welcome to server.example.com</b>
</font></body></html>
===============================
Now exit the editor.
Step 4: Now check the Selinux context of index.html
The newly created index.html file will not have the selinux context required for web server. So add the policy
# chcon -R --reference=/var/www/html/ /var/www/html/index.html
Check whether it has the right context
# ls -lZ /var/www/html/index.html
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /var/www/html/index.html
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /var/www/html/index.html
Now its ok.
Step 5: Start the daemon
# service httpd start
#chkconfig httpd on
Step 6: Browse the contents
