Lab 3: Apache Installation

Objective

To learn how to install packages and work with the package manager.

Task

For this lab you will update your system, install the Apache web server, and check some other info with apt.

1. Make sure the package manager itself is up to date.
2. Upgrade the packages on your system to the latest version (this may take a while).
3. Find info on the apache2 package:
   1. What version of Apache is packaged? What is the latest version of Apache that exists in general?
   2. How much disk space will it take up?
   3. What other packages does it depend on?
4. Install the package on your VM.
5. Start and enable the apache2 service with systemctl.
6. Reboot your system using systemctl.
7. Navigate to your VM's IP address in a web browser. You should see an Apache/Debian default web page meaning that the web server is installed correctly.

Submitting

Take a screenshot of the default site in your web browser. Submit that, and your answers to the 3 questions above, to Canvas.
