Introduction to Apache Administration (B118)

Introduction to Apache Administration is designed to teach students how to administer an Apache 2.2 web server. The course covers configuration, management, and security on an Ubuntu operating system and contrasts the file architecture with the FreeBSD file architecture. At completion students will be able to host multiple domains secured with SSL certificates on the same physical server, will understand how to configure Apache to optimize content delivery, how to implement multiple languages for the same domain, and how to implement select security features including basic authentication. Students will be provided an overview of options for delivering dynamic content. The course does not cover building an Apache server from source code.

Applicable Job Roles: web server administrator, web programmers, and web application developers.

  • Students should verify that they view the content served by their web server in a browser. If your web server is on the same device as your browser, generally you can see the content by entering 'http://localhost' in the address bar of your browser.
System and Software Requirements
  • Students will require access to a computer running a UNIX operating system and Apache 2.2.x.
  • Students are encouraged to use the most recent version of Firefox and to install the Firebug, Page Speed, and YSlow add-ons.
