Usage of Apache2-dev

Example: Configure the Firewall Configuration

To configure Apache, we must first allow outside access to our system’s web ports and enable Apache on your UFW firewall.

Step 1: Make a list of the UFW application profiles.

To begin configuring the firewall, let us first identify the application profiles that will be required to permit Apache access. To see a list of such accessible programs, use the following command:

sudo ufw app list

The result above shows three Apache profiles, each with a different level of security; Apache is the one with the most restrictions while leaving port 80 open.

Step 2: Allow Apache to run on UFW and check its status. Allowing Apache on UFW will allow port 80 for network communication while maintaining maximum server protection. Now, use the following command to configure UFW to enable Apache:

sudo ufw allow "apache"

Step 3: On the firewall, the status of UFW will now show Apache enabled.

sudo ufw status

The Apache HTTP Server Project’s purpose is to provide a standards-compliant open-source HTTP server that is secure, efficient, and extensible. As a result, it has long been the most used web server on the Internet. This package contains development headers and the apxs2 binary for the Apache 2 HTTP server, which can be used to create and integrate third-party extensions to the Debian Apache HTTP server package.
