= Apache =

The Apache work package goal is describing the exact steps needed to set up an Apache web server suitable for accessing through Fedora repository in our DOMS project.

== Requirements ==

The DOMS project requires a standard webserver with a directory writable for the DOMS user.

== Installation instructions for an Apache webserver ==

For Fedora Core 3 or Later or Redhat Enterprise Linux, installing a webserver can be obtained by running

{{{
sudo yum install httpd
}}}

To get it running, and making sure it runs when rebooting the machine, do the following:

{{{
sudo /sbin/service httpd start
sudo /sbin/chkconfig httpd on
}}}

A standard apache webserver installed thus serves files from {{{/var/www/html}}}. To make a directory {{{DOMS}}}, which is writable by you, do the following:

{{{
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/DOMS
sudo chown $USER /var/www/html/DOMS
}}}

== Testing the installation ==
Make a file in the directory:

{{{
echo "Hello world" > /var/www/html/DOMS/test.txt
}}}

Retrieve http://localhost/DOMS/test.txt

{{{
wget -q -O - http://localhost/DOMS/test.txt
}}}
It should show "Hello world".

Clean up after you.
{{{
rm /var/www/html/DOMS/test.txt
}}}
