Configuring fresh copy of apache on RHEL?

Question

I need to setup a copy of Apache and I'm wondering if there is a good (and updated) walk-through that I can use?

Answer 1

yum install httpd installs Apache. It brings a sane default configuration, so other than dropping documents in the documents folder, if you don't have a special need, you are done.

If you do have special needs, we need to know them in order to help.

Answer 2

HOW-TO Forge has some very good step by step guides on how to setup not only Apache but a wide range of applications for linux. Choose CentOS as its redhat based and tweak it abit for the repository

Answer 3

Red Hat themselves actually provide their own tutorials on configuring and setting up Apache; if you want it straight from the source,

• Apache HTTPD Server Configuration
• Apache HTTPD Secure Server Configuration
