====== Apache2 Configuration ====== The configuration is built from a DigitalOcean Droplet, preconfigured with LAMP and WordPress: * Droplet Information: https://do.co/34TfYn8 * The WordPress One-Click Quickstart guide: https://do.co/34TfYn8#start ===== Core configuration ===== Note: If no site is "enabled" then a default entry seems to run hosting files under: ''/var/www/html'' Site configuration file location(s):


# All configuration files
/etc/apache2/sites-available/

# Enabled sites
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

Enable/disable configurations:


# Disable
sudo a2dissite datablog.roman-halliday.com.conf

# Enable
sudo a2ensite datablog.roman-halliday.com.conf

===== File Ownership ===== Make sure all files are owned correctly:


# Site content owned by www-data so webserver can modify files
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

# Configuration owned by root for security
chown -R root:root /etc/apache2

===== Refresh Configuration ===== Use one of:


systemctl reload apache2
service apache2 reload

===== SSL - Let's Encrypt ===== SSL Encryption (the use of ''https'' over ''http'') is a bit standard now, fortunately it's become a lot easier with the addition of [[https://letsencrypt.org/|Lets Encrypt]]. * DigitalOcean Community Documentation: [[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04|How To Secure Apache with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 20.04]] If you configure the http (non secure) websites under ''/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/'', then the ''certbot'' script will leverage [[https://letsencrypt.org/|Lets Encrypt]] to create certificates, configure them and create extra configuration files for the SSL (appending ''-le-ssl'' to the file name) and add a redirect to the original ''.conf'' file.


certbot --apache

====== Troubleshooting ====== * https://help.servmask.com/2018/10/27/how-to-increase-maximum-upload-file-size-in-wordpress/ ===== PHP testing page ===== Hosting can be tested with the file: ===== Managing Page redirects/apache changes ===== So many problems with cache in browsers. Good to test with a browser which can have all data cleared, and do work in private browsing. Using wget to test the apache configuration, see some extra samples and docs over at Computer Hope - Linux wget command.


# Run a command to get the default page, and view the http redirects as returned by the server
wget --verbose datablog.roman-halliday.com

# Reload apache configuration
sudo service apache2 reload

===== Bug: extra index ===== I had an extra ''index.html'' file from before. The old server prioritised ''php'' pages over ''php''. This one the other way around. It took time to realise the reason I was not getting one of the wiki pages working was because of the extra index.html'' file.
