==Basic Apache (Web Server) Setup==
This lab will show you how to set up the Apache Web server using a Fedora 13 16 installed PC.
You will need at least two systems to do this lab. The first could be Fedora on your removable hard drive while the second could be a virtual machine.
{{Admon/important|Prerequisites|
Your hard drive should have Fedora 1316, 64 bit Live edition already installed.<br />You should have at least one VM installed: also Fedora 1316, 64 bit Live edition.<br />
Both your host and guest should have default firewalls enabled.<br />
Both your host and guest should have SELinux enabled.<br />
yum install httpd httpd-tools system-config-httpd
*Still on vm01 you can now start your web server with this command
systemctl start httpd.service httpd start
*Using Firefox on vm01 go to address "localhost". You should get the "Fedora Test Page" which indicates your web server is running. Do not continue until this step works.
*Now create your own test page named index.html and put it into directory /var/www/html/. Reload the Firefox "localhost" web page - you should see your own test page now.
