Publish Home Page index.html

∟Publish Home Page index.html

This section provides a tutorial example on how to publish a simple 'Home Page' on Apache HTTP Server 'httpd' on Linux systems.

With Apache HTTP Server, httpd, running and accessible remotely, now I can publish my "Home Page" on the server.

1. Create an HTML document called index.html:

herong$ vi index.html

<html>
<body>
<p>Welcome to My Web Site</p>
...
</body>
</html>

2. Copy the HTML document to the server document directory, /var/www/html/:

herong$ sudo cp index.html /var/www/html/

3. Give "read" access to "apache" as "other" users:

herong$ sudo chmod 444 /var/www/html/index.html

herong$ ls -l /var/www/html/test.html
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 60 Apr 1 2022 /var/www/html/index.html

4. View the "Home Page" remotely on another computer:

herong$ curl http://192.168.1.100

<html>
<body>
<p>Welcome to My Web Site</p>
</body>
</html>

Cool. I am able to publish an HTML document as the "Home Page" on the Apache HTTP Server, "httpd".
