The article explain how to install Apache on a linux server.

1. With root user, create a user apache with an home directory in /opt/apache :

   useradd -d /opt/apache apache
      

   useradd%20-d%20%2Fopt%2Fapache%20apache
2. With the apache user Get the last stable version of apache (exemple 2.2.11. Extract, configure, make and install it.
   

   su - apache 
   tar xzvf httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz 
   cd httpd-2.2.11 
   ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache/v2211 --enable-ssl --enable-so 
   make 
   make install
      

   su%20-%20apache%20%0Atar%20xzvf%20httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz%20%0Acd%20httpd-2.2.11%20%0A.%2Fconfigure%20--prefix%3D%2Fopt%2Fapache%2Fv2211%20--enable-ssl%20--enable-so%20%0Amake%20%0Amake%20install

3. Modify httpd.conf file and replace daemon user by apache

   User apache 
   Group apache
      

   User%20apache%20%0AGroup%20apache
4. Automatic start and stop for Linux Redhat. With root copy apachectl script in init.d directory.

   cp /opt/apache/v2211/bin/apachectl /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache
      

   cp%20%2Fopt%2Fapache%2Fv2211%2Fbin%2Fapachectl%20%2Fetc%2Frc.d%2Finit.d%2Fapache
5. With root user, edit it and add chkconfig and description comment line at the begining of the file.

   #!/bin/sh
   #
   # Comments to support chkconfig on RedHat Linux
   # chkconfig: 2345 64 36
   # description: Starts and stops Apache web server.
   #

6. With root, chkconfig and start apache

   chkconfig --add apache 
   service apache start
      

   chkconfig%20--add%20apache%20%0Aservice%20apache%20start
