Testing the Apache Web Server
previous|next
Sheila and her team use the default Apache Web Server installed on their Linux system. The Zend Core for Oracle PHP engine can be installed as either a CGI application or an Apache module on the Apache Web Server.
Sheila performs the following steps to check that the Apache Web Server has been started:
1. Log in as the root user.
2. Execute the apachectl status command. If the Web server is not started, execute the apachectl start command.
3. To confirm that the Web server is listening on port 80 (the default), start a browser and enter the URL http://localhost.
Watch Sheila test and start the Apache Web server.
