Setup/Config Apache Web Service

[Alck]

hi all,

i have installed httpd rpm and i need to configure it. I need to restrict a certain page where client needs to type in username and password to access tat certain page. for that i think i need to configure htaccess?

if i need a page confidential.html as restricted page.where do i put my confidential.html ? issit /var/www/html ?

i need to add a user to access this page...
i need to go /etc/httpd and type htpasswd -c htpasswd username?
is this the correct procedure?

oh ya, how do i upload the file confidential.html into the folder?

hope to hear from you soon. thanks

Hi,

You can install httpd-manual, after installed you will access for browser ipaddress/manual
There are many options about Virtual Domain, htpasswd, restricted page, etc.

I'm going explain some things.

Main file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, you can change:

"AllowOverride None" for "AllowOverride All" (This options is necessary for use .htaccess file.)

Folder default is "/var/www/html" but you can change if necessary.

You should use Virtual Domain, for example:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@yourdomain.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site/yourdomaint.example.com
ServerName yourdomain.example.com
ErrorLog logs/yourdomain.example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/yourdomain.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
