RE: Installing Apache Web Server (DigitalOcean droplet)

in Steem Cameroon6 days ago

Thank you @fombae for you effort .

I READ your tutorial. It very good for new people.
Your steps show clear:

First you make droplet
Then you login with root
You make new user for safety
You give new user sudo power
You install Apache
You check if Apache working
You show how to control Apache

I like how you put pictures. Pictures help understand better. Also good you show IP address and domain working at end.
Some things maybe make better:

Tell why use sudo not root all time
Tell why update before install
Maybe show more about firewall rules
Show little bit what files in /var/www/html

But overall very good, to learn how to make web server from your steps. You explain hard things in simple way. Good job.

Security measures are the reason I created the unprivileged user, which I later gave the sudo privilege. That way, I can do every administrative task without giving out the root password.

Most of the time, updating before installing will help avoid installation errors. Have the latest version of the package before installing it.

My next project will be hosting a static website.

Thanks, I hope to be sharing what I will be working on the platform.
