Step 1 — Installing Apache

Apache is available within CentOS’s default software repositories, which means you can install it with the yum package
manager.
As the non-root sudo user configured in the prerequisites, update the local Apache httpd package index to reflect the latest
upstream changes:

sudo yum update httpd

Once the packages are updated, install the Apache package:


sudo yum install httpd

After confirming the installation, yum will install Apache and all required dependencies.
If you completed the Additional Recommended Steps for New CentOS 7 Servers guide mentioned in the prerequisites section,
you will have installed firewalld on your server and you’ll need to open up port 80 to allow Apache to serve requests over
HTTP. If you haven’t already done so, you can do this by enabling firewalld’s http service with the following command:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http

If you plan to configure Apache to serve content over HTTPS, you will also want to open up port 443 by enabling
the https service:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https

Next, reload the firewall to put these new rules into effect:

sudo firewall-cmd --reload

After the firewall reloads, you are ready to start the service and check the web server.

Create a File in to Home Dir of http Apache

Vim /var/www/html/index.html

Step 2 — Checking your Web Server

Apache does not automatically start on CentOS once the installation completes. You will need to start the Apache process
manually:
sudo systemctl start httpd, systemctl enable httpd

Verify that the service is running with the following command:


sudo systemctl status httpd

Check the web site

Open web browser


http://ipaddress of you system

OR

Curl http://ipaddress of you system
