Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to configure two HTML sites on an Apache web

server in Fedora:

---

### **Step 1: Install Apache**


1. Open a terminal and install Apache if it’s not already installed:
```bash
sudo dnf install httpd -y
```
2. Start the Apache service:
```bash
sudo systemctl start httpd
```
3. Enable Apache to start at boot:
```bash
sudo systemctl enable httpd
```

---

### **Step 2: Create the Directories for the Websites**


1. Create directories for the two websites. For example:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/site1
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/site2
```
2. Set proper permissions:
```bash
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/site1 /var/www/site2
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/site1 /var/www/site2
```

---

### **Step 3: Create the HTML Files**


1. Create an `index.html` file for each website:
```bash
echo "<h1>Welcome to Site 1</h1>" | sudo tee /var/www/site1/index.html
echo "<h1>Welcome to Site 2</h1>" | sudo tee /var/www/site2/index.html
```

---

### **Step 4: Configure Virtual Hosts**


1. Create separate configuration files for each website:
```bash
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/site1.conf
```
Add the following content for Site 1:
```apache
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/site1
<Directory /var/www/site1>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
```

2. Repeat for Site 2:


```bash
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/site2.conf
```
Add the following content for Site 2:
```apache
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/site2
<Directory /var/www/site2>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
```

---

### **Step 5: Update `/etc/hosts` for Local Testing**


1. Edit the `/etc/hosts` file to map the domain names to localhost:
```bash
sudo nano /etc/hosts
```
2. Add the following lines:
```plaintext
127.0.0.1 site1.local
127.0.0.1 site2.local
```

---

### **Step 6: Test the Configuration**


1. Check the Apache configuration for syntax errors:
```bash
sudo apachectl configtest
```
- If there are no errors, you should see: `Syntax OK`.

---

### **Step 7: Restart Apache**


1. Restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart httpd
```

---

### **Step 8: Access the Websites**


1. Open a web browser and visit:
- [http://site1.local](http://site1.local) for Site 1
- [http://site2.local](http://site2.local) for Site 2

---

### **Optional: Enable SELinux and Firewall Rules**


1. Allow HTTP traffic in the firewall:
```bash
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
```
2. Adjust SELinux context for the directories if needed:
```bash
sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/var/www/site1(/.*)?"
sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/var/www/site2(/.*)?"
sudo restorecon -Rv /var/www/site1
sudo restorecon -Rv /var/www/site2
```
