Basic Apache configuration

We've installed httpd on our CentOS machine, meaning that we've got a web server running on port 80 and we're able to hit it from our Firefox installation on our host machine.

In this section, we're going to take a look at how our server knows what to display and what we can do to set up a site of our own so that people aren't greeted by the default Apache page when they visit our IP.

Getting ready

For this section, we're going to use the Vagrantfile from the previous section. If you haven't already installed Apache on the CentOS VM, do so at this point.

Connect to your CentOS box:

$ vagrant ssh centos1 -- -L 127.0.0.1:8080:127.0.0.1:80
