Apaxy is a simple, lightweight theme for the Apache web server that comes with a nice-looking directory listing. It's easy to install on Fedora CoreOS by using the following steps.
Before installing Apaxy, you need to install Apache and PHP on your system. To do so, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd php
Next, you need to download the Apaxy theme file from the official website. You can do this by using the following command:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/oupala/apaxy/archive/master.tar.gz -o apaxy.tar.gz
After downloading the file, extract it in the Apache web root directory:
sudo tar zxvf apaxy.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Now that you have downloaded and extracted the Apaxy theme, it's time to configure Apache to use the new theme. Open the Apache configuration file in your favorite text editor:
sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Find the following line:
#LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
And uncomment it by removing the hashtag ('#') at the beginning of the line, so it looks like this:
LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
Then, find the following lines:
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Replace them with the following:
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
DirectoryIndex header.php
</Directory>
This will set the header.php file from the Apaxy theme as the default index file.
To apply the changes made to the Apache configuration file, you need to restart the Apache web server:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
You can now open a web browser and navigate to "http://localhost/" to verify that Apaxy is installed and working properly. You should see a directory listing with a nice-looking theme.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apaxy on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
