Apache is available on Kali Linux by default, but if you want to install the latest version of Apache, you can follow the steps below:
Before installing Apache, it is recommended to update the Kali Linux system packages to their latest version. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
To install Apache, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install apache2
This will install Apache and its dependencies on your Kali Linux system.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify Apache by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status apache2
If Apache is installed correctly, you will see a status message indicating that Apache is active and running.
After the installation is complete, you can configure Apache to suit your needs. The configuration files for Apache are located in the /etc/apache2/ directory. The main configuration file is apache2.conf, while the sites and modules configuration files are located in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and /etc/apache2/mods-available/ directories respectively.
To start, stop or restart Apache, you can use the following commands:
To start Apache:
sudo systemctl start apache2
To stop Apache:
sudo systemctl stop apache2
To restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache from http://httpd.apache.org/ on Kali Linux Latest. You can now start using Apache to host websites and other web applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
