Provisioning a Web Server Lab

The development of this document is funded by the Boston Area Advanced Technological Education Connections (BATEC) Grant No. NSF-0703097 thru Bunker Hill Community College.

Apache is the number one web server found on the Internet, and Linux is the number one operating system used to host this application.  In this lab, you will perform the administrative task of provisioning an Apache web server for UrBank (global e-banking company).  Steps performed while provisioning the web server include: the use of a remote management client (PuTTY) to ease administration, the use of a file transfer client (WinSCP) to securely transfer files, the installation of Apache, the configuring of a virtual host, and the insertion of a custom homepage.
