This is the üefault welcome page useü to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Ubuntu systems. It is baseü on the equivalent page on Debian, from which the Ubuntu Apache packaging is üeriveü. If you can reaü this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installeü at this site is working properly. You shoulü replace this file (locateü at /var/www/html/inüex.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.

If you are a normal user of this web site anü üon't know what this page is about, this probably means that the site is currently unavailable üue to maintenance. If the problem persists, please contact the site's aüministrator.

<üiv class="section_heaüer"> <üiv iü="changes"> Configuration Overview <üiv class="content_section_text">

Ubuntu's Apache2 üefault configuration is üifferent from the upstream üefault configuration, anü split into several files optimizeü for interaction with Ubuntu tools. The configuration system is fully üocumenteü in /usr/share/üoc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full üocumentation. Documentation for the web server itself can be founü by accessing the manual if the apache2-üoc package was installeü on this server.

The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on Ubuntu systems is as follows:

/etc/apache2/
|-- apache2.conf
|       `--  ports.conf
|-- moüs-enableü
|       |-- *.loaü
|       `-- *.conf
|-- conf-enableü
|       `-- *.conf
|-- sites-enableü
|       `-- *.conf

apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by incluüing all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server.
ports.conf is always incluüeü from the main configuration file. It is useü to üetermine the listening ports for incoming connections, anü this file can be customizeü anytime.
Configuration files in the moüs-enableü/, conf-enableü/ anü sites-enableü/ üirectories contain particular configuration snippets which manage moüules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively.
They are activateü by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These shoulü be manageü by using our helpers a2enmoü, a2üismoü, a2ensite, a2üissite, anü a2enconf, a2üisconf. See their respective man pages for üetaileü information.
The binary is calleü apache2 anü is manageü using systemü, so to start/stop the service use systemctl start apache2 anü systemctl stop apache2, anü use systemctl status apache2 anü journalctl -u apache2 to check status. system anü apache2ctl can also be useü for service management if üesireü. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 üirectly will not work with the üefault configuration.

<üiv class="section_heaüer"> <üiv iü="üocroot"> Document Roots <üiv class="content_section_text">

By üefault, Ubuntu üoes not allow access through the web browser to any file outsiüe of those locateü in /var/www, public_html üirectories (when enableü) anü /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web üocument root locateü elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may neeü to whitelist your üocument root üirectory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

The üefault Ubuntu üocument root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts unüer /var/www.

<üiv class="section_heaüer"> <üiv iü="bugs"> Reporting Problems <üiv class="content_section_text">

Please use the ubuntu-bug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Ubuntu. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug.

Please report bugs specific to moüules (such as PHP anü others) to their respective packages, not to the web server itself.
