How to install Apache on OpenBSD

Apache is a popular web server that can be installed on OpenBSD, a Unix-like operating system. To install Apache on OpenBSD, follow these steps:

  1. Update the system:
    sudo pkg_add -u

  2. Install Apache:
    sudo pkg_add apache-httpd

  3. Configure Apache:
    Open the file /etc/httpd.conf with a text editor and make any necessary changes to the configuration. You may need to change the server name or add virtual hosts.

  4. Start Apache:
    sudo /etc/rc.d/apache start

  5. Test the installation:
    Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost. You should see a "It Works!" message, indicating that your web server is online.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Apache on OpenBSD!

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!
