1	# zypper -n install apache2

1.3 Firewalld

HTTP サービスの許可が必要です。なお、HTTP は 80/TCP を使用します。HTTPSは443

Success
# firewall-cmd --reload
success

1.4 Apache2 : operation check

Create an HTML test page to check the operation. Start a Web browser on the client PC and check if the test page you created can be accessed as follows

# vi /srv/www/htdocs/index.html

<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
Apache Test Page
</div>
</body>
</html>

# vi /srv/www/htdocs/index.html

<html>

<body>

Apache Test Page

</div>

</body>

</html>

Access http://[IP address] with a browser and confirm that it is displayed as shown below.

2. Apache2 : Using Perl Scripts

Configure Perl scripts to be used as CGI

2.1 Perl

①Install

# zypper -n install perl

1	# zypper -n install perl

②Enable CGI module

# a2enmod cgid

1	# a2enmod cgid

CGI execution is permitted by default under [/srv/www/cgi-bin/].
For example, by creating and placing the script [/srv/www/cgi-bin/index.cgi], you can access [http://(httpd server)/cgi-bin/index.cgi].
This configuration treats all files under [/srv/www/cgi-bin/] as CGI, so files other than CGI cannot be displayed.

# grep -n "^ *ScriptAlias" /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
72:ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin/"

1 2	# grep -n "^ *ScriptAlias" /etc/apache2/default-server.conf 72:ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin/"

# systemctl restart apache2

1	# systemctl restart apache2

③Create test scripts and check operation

# mkdir -p /srv/www/cgi-bin

1	# mkdir -p /srv/www/cgi-bin

# cat > /srv/www/cgi-bin/test_script <<'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello CGI\n";
EOF

# cat > /srv/www/cgi-bin/test_script <<'EOF'

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "Hello CGI\n";

EOF

Authorize script files

# chmod 705 /srv/www/cgi-bin/test_script

1	# chmod 705 /srv/www/cgi-bin/test_script

operation check

# curl http://localhost/cgi-bin/test_script
Hello CGI

1 2	# curl http://localhost/cgi-bin/test_script Hello CGI

If "Hello CGI" is displayed, it is normal.

3. Apache2 : Virtual Host Settings

Assign and configure the domain name [FQDN] to be operated on the virtual host in the document root [/srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]] directory

Create a new virtual host configuration file

# vi /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName [FQDN]
ServerAdmin <Administrator's email address>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/[FQDN].error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/[FQDN].access.log combined
LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>

# vi /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.conf

ServerName [FQDN]

ServerAdmin <Administrator's email address>

DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/[FQDN].error.log

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/[FQDN].access.log combined

LogLevel warn

</VirtualHost>

Create directory named /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]

# mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]

1	# mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]

Create the idex.html file in the /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN] directory

# vi /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]/index.html

<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
Virtual Host Test Page
</div>
</body>
</html>

# vi /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]/index.html

<html>

<body>

Virtual Host Test Page

</div>

</body>

</html>

Edit hosts file

# vi /etc/hosts

#
# hosts         This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
#               mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly
#               used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
#               On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
#               "named" name server.
# Syntax:
#
# IP-Address  Full-Qualified-Hostname  Short-Hostname
#

127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain
::1             localhost localhost.localdomain ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

# special IPv6 addresses
fe00::0         ipv6-localnet

ff00::0         ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2         ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3         ipv6-allhosts

192.168.11.83   [FQDN]　　←Add

# vi /etc/hosts

# hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address

# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly

# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.

# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a

# "named" name server.

# special IPv6 addresses

fe00::0 ipv6-localnet

ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes

ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters

ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts

192.168.11.83 [FQDN]　　←Add

# systemctl restart apache2

1	# systemctl restart apache2

Access "http://[FQDN]/" with a web browser.

4. Apache2 : Using PHP Scripts

Install and configure PHP so that PHP scripts are available

4.1 PHP Install

Find out what php version you can install

# zypper se -s php

1	# zypper se -s php

# zypper -n install php8 php8-pear php8-mbstring apache2-mod_php8
# a2enmod php8

1 2	# zypper -n install php8 php8-pear php8-mbstring apache2-mod_php8 # a2enmod php8

# vi /etc/php8/apache2/php.ini

# Line 699 : Change
post_max_size = 300M

# Line 851 : Change
upload_max_filesize = 200M

# Line 966: Change time zone to Japan
date.timezone = 'Asia/Tokyo'

# vi /etc/php8/apache2/php.ini

# Line 699 : Change

post_max_size = 300M

# Line 851 : Change

upload_max_filesize = 200M

# Line 966: Change time zone to Japan

date.timezone = 'Asia/Tokyo'

# systemctl restart apache2

1	# systemctl restart apache2

4.2 Create a PHP test page and check its operation

Create test page

# vi /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]/test.php

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

# vi /srv/www/htdocs/[FQDN]/test.php

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

# systemctl restart httpd.service

1	# systemctl restart httpd.service

Start a Web browser on the client PC, access "http://[FQDN]/test.php", and if the test page you created is displayed as shown below, it is OK.(PHP version may be different)
