+Apache is available in the default CentOS repositories, and the installation is pretty straight forward.

+On RHEL based distributions, the Apache package and service are called httpd. To install the Apache run the following command as root or user with sudo privileges:
-<WRAP center round alert 60%>
+<code># yum install httpd</code>
-''<wrap em>From here down, is Depricatet!</wrap>''
+Once the installation is complete, enable and start the Apache service:
+<code># systemctl enable httpd --now</code>
+To verify that the service is running, check its status:
+<code># systemctl status httpd</code>

-Apache 2.4 ist bei **Redhat** sowie **CentOS** in den offiziellen Paket quellen **//NUR//** in **Version 2.2** enthalten. Um also die neuste Version Apache 2.4 zu installieren, muss zuerst, dass **''[[redhat:base-redhat:repositories-redhat|Epel Repository]]''** angehängt werden. Das Paket kann anschliessend mittels folgenden Befehl installiert werden:
+<WRAP center box 100%>
+==== Adjusting the Firewall ====
-<code>
+FirewallD is the default firewall solution on Centos 8.
-# yum install httpd
-# rm -f /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf
-</code>
-<WRAP center round important 100%>
+During the installation, Apache creates firewalld service files with predefined rules for allowing access to ''HTTP (80)'' and ''HTTPS (443)'' ports.
-''<wrap em>Achtung!</wrap> Falls später, **[[redhat:web-server-redhat:php-redhat|php-fpm]]** konfiguriert werden soll, muss hier der **httpd24-httpd Webserver** //aus der Software Collection// anstelle des oberen installiert werden! Dazu installiert man wie unten beschrieben das Repo und färht anschliessend **[[redhat:web-server-redhat:php-redhat|HIER]]** weiter.''
+The following commands will permanently open the necessary ports:
+<code># firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
+# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
+# firewall-cmd --reload</code>

-Install the SCL repository for your system:
-# yum install centos-release-scl
-# yum update

+==== Managing Apache ====
+This section explains how the Apache configuration files are structured and the best practices for managing the Apache webserver.
+  * All Apache configuration files are located in the ''/etc/httpd'' directory.
+  * The main Apache configuration file is ''/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf''.
+  * Configuration files ending with ''.conf'' located in the ''/etc/httpd/conf.d'' directory are included in main Apache configuration file.
+  * Configuration files that are responsible for loading various Apache modules are located in the ''/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d'' directory.
+  * Apache vhost files must end with ''.conf'' and be stored in ''/etc/httpd/conf.d'' directory. You can have as many vhosts as you need. Creating a separate configuration file (vhost) for each domain makes the server easier to maintain.
+    * It is a good practice to follow a standard naming convention. For example, if the domain name is mydomain.com then the configuration file should be named mydomain.com.conf
+  * Apache log files (''access_log'' and ''error_log'') are located in the ''/var/log/httpd/'' directory. It is recommended to have a different ''access'' and ''error'' log files for each vhost.
+  * You can set your domain document root directory to any location you want. The most common locations for webroot include:
+    * ''/home/<user_name>/<site_name>''
+    * ''/var/www/<site_name>''
+    * ''/var/www/html/<site_name>''
+    * ''/opt/<site_name>''
