④operation check
If you access http://[server IP address] and see the RockyLinux Test Page as shown below, it is OK.

⑤Hide the Welcome page, create a new index.html file as a Test Page, and check apache operation

Rename the welcome page

# mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf.org

Create an HTML test page

# vi /var/www/html/index.html

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

If you access http://[server IP] and the Test Page is displayed as shown below, it is OK.

1.3 Virtual Host Settings

Assign and configure the domain name [FQDN] to the document root [/var/www/html/FQDN] directory for virtual host operation

# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost.conf

Enter the following (virtual host domain settings)
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/[FQDN]
ServerName [FQDN]
ServerAdmin ＜Email Address> ←Administrator's email address
ErrorLog logs/[FQDN].error_log
CustomLog logs/[FQDN].access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "/var/www/html/[FQDN]">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Creating a Document Directory

# mkdir /var/www/html/[FQDN]

Restart Apache

# systemctl restart httpd

2. Use of CGI Scripts

①CGI availability check

# grep -n "^ *ScriptAlias" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
252:    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
The above is displayed and available under "/var/www/cgi-bin/".

②Create test scripts and check operation

# vi /var/www/cgi-bin/index.cgi

Please describe the following
#!/usr/libexec/platform-python
print("Content-type: text/html\n")
print("CGI Script Test Page")

# chmod 755 /var/www/cgi-bin/index.cgi
# curl localhost/cgi-bin/index.cgi
CGI Script Test Page

3. PHP installation and configuration

3.1.PHP8 Install

Since the PHP version in the standard repository (PHP 8.0) is outdated for installing the latest version of WordPress, we will install PHP 8.4 from the Remi repository.
The Remi repository is pre-installed by default.

①Enabling PHP 8.4 Modules
Update the module information so that PHP 8.4 can be selected from the Remi repository, then reset and enable it.

# dnf module reset php -y
# dnf module enable php:remi-8.4 -y

①Installing PHP 8.4 and Extensions

# dnf install -y php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-mbstring php-xml php-gd php-json php-curl

②Version Check

# php -v

PHP 8.4.22 (cli) (built: Jun  3 2026 01:12:32) (NTS gcc x86_64)

Enabling and starting php-fpm

# systemctl enable php-fpm
Created symlink '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/php-fpm.service' → '/usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service'.

# systemctl start php-fpm

③Apache Restart
After PHP installation, restarting Apache will invoke PHP-FPM (FPM : FastCGI Process Manager) by default, and php-fpm service will be started in conjunction with httpd startup.

# systemctl restart httpd
# systemctl status php-fpm
● php-fpm.service - The PHP FastCGI Process Manager
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

             ├─10692 "php-fpm: pool www"

             ├─10694 "php-fpm: pool www"
             └─10695 "php-fpm: pool www"

④Confirmation of PHP operation
Create the following files

# vi /var/www/html/[FQDN]/info.php

Please describe the following
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

If you access http://[FQDN]/test.php in your browser and see the following screen, it is OK

4. Digest authentication with Apache2

Since Basic Authentication, a well-known authentication authorization method for http, sends authentication information in plain text, there is a risk of ID and password leakage if the packet is intercepted.
On the other hand, Digest Authentication encrypts and transmits authentication information, so there is almost no risk of information leakage.

4.1 Create password file for Digest authentication

Specify an authenticated area called realm. This realm allows the same directory to be accessed as authenticated.
For this example, the realm is "DigestAuth" and a user and password file named "secretuser" ".digestauth" is created.

# /usr/bin/htdigest -c /etc/httpd/.digestauth "DigestAuth" secretuser
New password:
Re-type new password:

Confirmation

# cat /etc/httpd/.digestauth
secretuser:DigestAuth:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As above, secretuser and encrypted password are created

4.2 Edit Apache configuration file

Specify the directory to which Digest authentication will be applied. (In this case, specify the "secret" directory.)

# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following at the end
<Directory "/var/www/html/[FQDN]/secret">
AuthType Digest
AuthName "DigestAuth"
AuthDigestDomain /[FQDN]/secret/
AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/.digestauth"
Require valid-user
</Directory>

Create a directory for Digest authentication

# mkdir  /var/www/html/[FQDN]/secret

Enable Digest authentication and reboot

# systemctl restart httpd.service

When accessing http://[FQDN]/secret with a browser, a screen appears asking for "user name" and "password".
