Install Apache 2 on CentOS 8

You want to install Apache 2 on CentOS 8 (or other RHEL forks like Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux OS)? Perfect 🙂

sudo dnf install httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd

Enable Apache as a CentOS service to start automatically

sudo systemctl enable httpd.service

Let’s enable Apache through the firewall

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --list-all
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Now test it by typing your server’s IP in the browser.

That’s it 🙂
