Here we are going to see how to set up the Apache Web server labs.
What are the different systems we are going to take?
What are their IP addresses that we are going to discuss?
So in our case, we will be involving three systems.
In our case, we will be having three vms virtual machines.
Having Centos seven installed on our one system is going to have the IP address 172.24.0.1 and the
mask is going to be 255.255.0.0.
That means 16 mask.
And we are going to name this as a master.example.com.
Now here we are going to implement the Web server.
In our case, the Web server is going to be apache web server.
So we will be implementing it here and then we will be using two client system c10.example,
.com, which will be having the address 172.24.0.10.
As the ip address this will act as your client.
And another system that we are going to involve is C20.example.com.
It will be having the address 172.24.0.20.
Again, the mask is going to be 16.
And in both these c10 and c20, we will be using these for testing our Web servers and when
we will be talking about Web server first.
We will be looking at how to launch one site.
Then we will be seeing how to launch multiple sites by using one address, then launching different
sites on different IP addresses, security and other issues, security, what type of security we can
put on our Apache server that we are going to discuss anything with all these.
We are going to use this lab and on this c10 we will be having different browsers.
In our case, we will be using text-based browser elinks, lynx, curl, although you can install
Firefox also.
So this will act as a Web client or Web browser.
And again, on C20, we will be having the browser elinks, lynx, curl and all these are command based browsers.
So we will be using these for testing our Web server.
In our case again, that we will be taking three systems mean three VMS, one having 172.24.0.1 address.
and other 172.24.0.10.
And the third one is 172.24.0.20.
And one is will be act as Web server, ten and twenty will act as a Web client.
So in three VMS, in our Master VM here, that network adapter setting after we have completed the lab, that
is going to be bridge.
And what ip address it will show ip a s when we are going to check the address, it will show us the address 172.
24.0.1, that will be the address.
And we will be having one entry in our host file that we will be discussing later what that host entry
is going to be.
That means we are concern with the IP address that mean it will have the entry 172.24.0.
1.
this is your master system.
Then you have got one C10 system is there.
So this will going to have the address 172.24.0.10.
again, the setting is bridge network adapter.
setting is Bridge.
And then third system, it is going to be having the address 172.24.0.20 and please next few videos we will
be on how we have set up this lab.
And again, if you can yourself set up this lab, that means you need three systems or three VMs.
If you can create this type of setup, then you can skip next few videos.
And straightaway you can move to the part where we'll be discussing how to launch a single website
using Apache Web server.
and please remember, in all these VMs, we have got bridge setting so that these systems can
communicate between themselves.
And please remember, all the systems will be having the entries regarding in host file IP address entry
and the systems fully qualified domain name entry in the case of one also, ten also.
And your twenty also.
So we will next see how we have set up the master system C10 System C20 system.
Then in the end we will also verify whether everything is working perfectly or not.
