Thread: How to install and start the Apache or httpd service under Linux

Q. How do I install and start the Apache or httpd web server under Fedora core or Cent OS?
A. Apache HTTP Server is a free software/open source web server for Unix-like systems and other oses.
Apache features configurable error messages, DBMS-based authentication databases, and content negotiation. It is also supported by several graphical user interfaces (GUIs) which permit easier, more intuitive configuration of the server.
Use rpm command to install Apache under Linux. You can also use up2date or yum command to install the same.
