    Introduction

    This guide provides a step-by-step process for installing and configuring Apache on an Ubuntu server. We will cover the installation of Apache, configuring the AllowOverride directive, and customizing the 000-default.conf file.

    Prerequisites

    • A server running Ubuntu 20.04 or later
    • A user with sudo privileges

    Installation

    1. Update your package index:
    • Code
      sudo apt update
    • Install Apache:
      1. Code
        sudo apt install apache2

    Configuration

    AllowOverride

    The AllowOverride directive controls whether directives in .htaccess files override the main server configuration.

    1. Open the default configuration file:
    • Code
      sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
    • Find the <Directory /var/www/> section and modify the AllowOverride directive:
      1. Code
        <Directory /var/www/>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
      2. Save and exit the file.

    000-default.conf

    The 000-default.conf file contains the default virtual host configuration.

    1. Open the default virtual host configuration file:
    • Code
      sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
    • Modify the file to include the desired configurations. Here is an example:
      1. Save and exit the file.

    Starting Apache

    1. Enable the mod_rewrite module:
    • Code
      sudo a2enmod rewrite
    • Restart Apache to apply changes:
      1. Code
        sudo systemctl restart apache2

    Testing Configuration

    1. Create a .htaccess file in your document root:
    2. Code
      sudo nano /var/www/html/.htaccess
    3. Save and exit the file.
    4. Open your browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip/test. You should see the Apache default page if the configuration is correct.

    CSS-BABS Project Setup

    1. Upload the cssbans.zip file to /var/www/html:
      • Use an SFTP client or any other method to upload the cssbans.zip file to the /var/www/html directory on your server.
    2. Extract the cssbans.zip file:
    • Code
      cd /var/www/html
      sudo apt install unzip
      sudo unzip cssbans.zip
    • Set the correct permissions:
      1. Code
        sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/cssbans

    Conclusion

    You have successfully installed and configured Apache on your Ubuntu server, and set up a css bans project by uploading and extracting cssbans.zip to /var/www/html. The AllowOverride directive is set to All in both apache2.conf and 000-default.conf to allow the use of .htaccess files. If you encounter any issues, check the Apache error logs for more details.
