Apache http web server is open source. In this tutorial we will get to know the steps to install this in Ubuntu Server.
This steps are tested on Ubuntu 16.04. I have listed down some basic Linux commands also which you should be aware of.

-sudo apt update

2. Install Apache server by running the below command.

3. Once this is installed, try the below url to check if web server is running with default page without any issue. You can type your IP address instead of localhost.
- localhost:80/

4. If you see the above screen shot in your response then Apache web server is installed successfully. This is serving the default page created during installing from below location.
- cd /var/www/html

5. You can try to open the index.html file present here and update, same will reflect here localhost:80/
    Open and Edit file
