<WRAP muchbigger>APACHE 2 WEB SERVER INSTALL</WRAP>
<WRAP bigger>John T. Rine</WRAP>
</WRAP>
======Objective======
The objective of this project is to successfully install the Apache 2 Web server and then create a Web page and place it on the Server and access the Web page across the network using a Web browser.
======Materials/Reading/Prerequisites======
To do this project, you will need to have successfully completed:

  * Linux/*BSD Desktop Install

======Background======
Web servers use the client/server model. That is, the client makes a request, and the server responds by fullfilling that request.When a URL to a Web page is entered into the Web browser, the browser segments it into protocol, server, and resource (page). The browser then sends a request for a particular page (resource to the server, and the server responds by sending the requested page; in the case of a Web page, it sends it encoded as HTML. When the browser gets the page, it interprets it and then displays it.
There are many protocols used for different purposes across the Internet for example, HTTP-Hypertext Transfer Protocol, FTP-File Transfer Protocol, and HTTPS-Secure HTTP. The communication protocol used to request and serve unsecure Web pages is HTTP. As we learned in our networking fundamentals course, the well known port for HTTP is port 80. So a Web server listens at port 80 (usually) for a request from a Web client.

======Procedure======
After logging in as root, I performed an apt-get install of the apache 2 Web server packages.\\

<code>

</code>
Next, I placed both index.html and the graphic file, "dancing bear.gif" into the /var/www directory.\\
Lastly, I accessed the Web page successfully using both 127.0.0.1 (localhost-loop back address) and 10.80.2.179 (the machine's IP address).
