# 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.
