\"Compile<\/p>\n

Compiling Apache 2.4 from source is easy and allows for more customization later on. It also allows for control over where it is installed<\/p>\n

Install some required depedencies:<\/p>\n

yum install -y wget pcre-devel openssl openssl-devel expat-devel<\/p>\n

First get the latest version, at the time of writing this it is 2.4.25. The link to download the latest version is here<\/a><\/p>\n

wget -O \/usr\/src\/httpd-2.4.25.tar.gz http:\/\/mirror.nexcess.net\/apache\/\/httpd\/httpd-2.4.25.tar.gz<\/p>\n

Change directories to \/usr\/src<\/p>\n

cd \/usr\/src<\/p>\n

Uncompress the tar<\/p>\n

tar xfvz httpd-2.4.25.tar.gz<\/p>\n

Go to the directory:<\/p>\n

cd httpd-2.4.25<\/p>\n

The build we are creating requires apr and apr-util so to the src lib directory and download the following (APR download page<\/a>):<\/p>\n

cd .\/srclib
\nwget http:\/\/mirror.stjschools.org\/public\/apache\/\/apr\/apr-1.5.2.tar.gz
\nwget http:\/\/mirrors.gigenet.com\/apache\/\/apr\/apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz<\/p>\n

Uncompress them and rename them:<\/p>\n

tar xfvz apr-1.5.2.tar.gz; mv apr-1.5.2 apr
\ntar xfvz apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz; mv apr-util-1.5.4 apr-util<\/p>\n

Configure Apache:<\/p>\n

Go back to the main source directory:<\/p>\n

cd ..\/<\/p>\n

To view the configure options type the following<\/p>\n

.\/configure –help<\/p>\n

This is a sample config:<\/p>\n

.\/configure
\n–enable-layout=RedHat
\n–prefix=\/usr
\n–enable-expires
\n–enable-headers
\n–enable-rewrite
\n–enable-cache
\n–enable-mem-cache
\n–enable-speling
\n–enable-usertrack
\n–enable-module=so
\n–enable-unique_id
\n–enable-logio
\n–enable-ssl=shared
\n–with-ssl=\/usr
\n–enable-proxy=shared
\n–with-included-apr<\/p>\n

Make:<\/p>\n

make<\/p>\n

Install:<\/p>\n

make install<\/p>\n

Start Services:<\/h3>\n

CentOS 7<\/p>\n

Create a systemd start file by creating \/etc\/systemd\/system\/httpd.service and add<\/p>\n

[Unit]
\nDescription=The Apache HTTP Server<\/p>\n

[Service]
\nType=forking
\nPIDFile=\/var\/apache\/httpd.pid
\nExecStart=\/usr\/sbin\/apachectl start
\nExecReload=\/usr\/sbin\/apachectl graceful
\nExecStop=\/usr\/sbin\/apachectl stop
\nKillSignal=SIGCONT
\nPrivateTmp=true<\/p>\n

[Install]
\nWantedBy=multi-user.target<\/p>\n

Configure it to start on boot:<\/p>\n

systemctl enable httpd<\/p>\n

Start it<\/p>\n

systemctl start httpd<\/p>\n

CentOS 6<\/p>\n

chkconfig –add httpd<\/p>\n

chkconfig httpd on<\/p>\n

service httpd start<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for compiling Apache from source. If you visit the http:\/\/ip-address of the server you should see a default page for apache.<\/p>\n

You can also verify its running by typing the following:<\/p>\n

Configuration Changes<\/h2>\n

The configuration is located in \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf typically.<\/p>\n

How to change default ports<\/h3>\n

Apache listens on ports by the Listen directive to change it from port 80 (default)<\/p>\n

Listen 8080<\/p>\n

How to enable ssl in httpd.conf<\/h3>\n

Edit \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf and ensure the following line is uncommented:<\/p>\n

LoadModule ssl_module modules\/mod_ssl.so<\/p>\n

And add the following line<\/p>\n

Listen 443<\/p>\n

You will need to restart the service if you make any changes to the configuration files.<\/p>\n
