1. Install Apache2
Let’s begin by updating the local package index to reflect the latest upstream changes:
sudo apt update
Then, install the apache2 package:
sudo apt install apache2
Check with the systemd init system to make sure the service is running by typing:
sudo systemctl status apache2
When you have your server’s IP address, enter it into your browser’s address bar:
http://your_server_ip/
* Errors can happen:
- Server not open port (manual with ufw)
- Server not open port (on control pannel)
2. Setup Virtual Hosts for project
Create the Directory Structure
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/example.com/public
Grant Permissions
Now we have the directory structure for our files, but they are owned by our root user. If we want our regular user to be able to modify files in our web directories, we can change the ownership by doing this:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/example.com/public
We should also modify our permissions to ensure that read access is permitted to the general web directory and all of the files and folders it contains so that pages can be served correctly:
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www
Create file index.html
nano /var/www/example.com/public/index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to example.com!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Success! The example.com virtual host is working!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Create New Virtual Host Files
Start by copying the file for the first domain:
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
Open the new file in your editor with root privileges:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
When complete, our virtual host file should look like this:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Enable the New Virtual Host Files
sudo a2ensite example.com.conf
Next, disable the default site defined in 000-default.conf:
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo a2ensite ec-cube-dev.cdb-lab1.com.conf
enter ip into your browser’s address bar:
http://your_server_ip/
3. Install php 8.1

Copy the mysql configuration file
sudo cp support-files/my-default.cnf /etc/my.cnf
Start mysql
sudo bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & sudo cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server
