This tutorial explains how to install Apache2 (httpd
) webserver on CentOS 6, 7 systems.
1. Install Apache2 webserver on your system by using the following command:
sudo yum install httpd -y
2. Start Apache2 webserver on your system by using the following command:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
3. Enable Apache2 webserver to start on boot by using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
You can check what Apache2 webserver related software packages
and dependencies
are installed by using the following command:
sudo yum list installed *httpd*
Output:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.beyondhosting.net
* epel: mirror.steadfast.net
* extras: mirror.beyondhosting.net
* updates: mirror.beyondhosting.net
Installed Packages
httpd.x86_64 2.4.6-45.el7.centos @base
httpd-tools.x86_64
4. Uninstall the Apache2 (httpd
) webserver by using the following command:
sudo yum remove httpd
However, this will only remove the httpd
service. Dependencies
(related packages to the httpd
service) will not be removed.
You can remove multiple httpd
related dependencies, which have “httpd” in their name by using the following command:
sudo yum remove *httpd*
NOTE: However, be careful while removing multiple packages and/or dependencies. You might remove more packages than you actually wish to remove by mistake. Furthermore, be aware that some dependencies may still be used by other software packages. If such dependencies were removed, other software, which require these dependencies, would undoubtedly experience problems or stop functioning entirely.
