Course Overview
Hi everyone, my name is Anthony Nocentino, enterprise architect and founder of Centino Systems. Welcome to my course LFCE: Linux Service Management, HTTP Services. Have you ever thought about how the internet works? How do you set up an apache web server? In this course, we're going to get you started on your path to doing just that. First off, we're going to cover the basic internet architecture and how things are found on the internet with the domain name system. Then we'll talk about how to install and configure apache so that you could provide HTTP services and deliver your important content to your clients and users. Next, we'll look at how to increase our web server's security posture using things like digital certificates, HTTPS, and access controls in implementing security services with apache, then we'll wrap it up with troubleshooting and logging in apache. Here we'll look at where apache stores its login information, and how to configure login, and techniques for sifting through all of that data. By the end of this course, you'll know how to install, configure, and secure HTTP services with apache. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with Linux operating system concepts like logging in, networking concepts like IP addresses and routing, and also providing TCP based services and firewalling. And finally, an understanding of service management with system d. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn apache and HTTP services together in LFCE: Linux Service Management, HTTP Services.
