# Apache Web Server Setup on EC2
This guide provides a step-by-step process to set up an Apache web server on an EC2 instance using a bash script. The script ensures Apache will start automatically on reboot and configures the firewall to allow HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) traffic.
## Steps to Use
### 1. Create the Bash Script on Your EC2 Instance
First, connect to your EC2 instance and create the script file by running the following command:
```bash
nano automation.sh
```
Then, copy and paste the following script into the `automation.sh` file:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Update the package list
sudo apt update -y
# Install Apache
sudo apt install apache2 -y
# Enable Apache to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable apache2
# Start Apache
sudo systemctl start apache2
# Allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic through the firewall
sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'
```
Save the file by pressing `Ctrl + X`, then `Y`, and hit `Enter` to confirm.
### 2. Make the Script Executable
Run the following command to make the script executable:
```bash
chmod +x automation.sh
```
### 3. Run the Script
Now, run the script using the command:
```bash
./automation.sh
```
This script will:
- Update the package list.
- Install the Apache web server.
- Set Apache to start automatically on reboot.
- Start the Apache service.
- Configure the firewall to allow HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) traffic.
### 4. Verify Apache Installation
Once the script is complete, you can verify the installation by visiting your EC2 instance's public IP address in a web browser. You should see the Apache default page.
You can also check the status of Apache by running:
```bash
sudo systemctl status apache2
```
This confirms that Apache is installed and running.
