Az Apache HTTP Szerver, vagy röviden Apache, egy nagyon népszerű webszerver, amelyet az Apache Software Foundation fejlesztett ki.

Ez a cikk azt írja le, hogy miként kell beállítani az Apache webszervert, és hogyan lehet opcionálisan integrálni a PHP szoftverrel.

## Telepítés

Telepítse az apache szoftvercsomagot.

## Beállítás

Apache configuration files are located in `/etc/httpd/conf`. The main configuration file is `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`, which includes various other configuration files. The default configuration file should be fine for a simple setup. By default, it will serve the directory `/srv/http` to anyone who visits your website.

To run Apache, start `httpd.service`. If everything is working correctly, visiting http://localhost/ should display a simple index page.

For optional further configuration, see the following sections.

### Advanced options

See the full list of Apache configuration directives and the directive quick reference.

These options in `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf` might be interesting for you:

    User http

  For security reasons, as soon as Apache is started by the root user (directly or via startup scripts) it switches to this UID. The default user is http, which is created automatically during installation.

    Listen 80

  This is the port Apache will listen to. For Internet-access with router, you have to forward the port.

  If you want to setup Apache for local development you may want it to be only accessible from your computer. Then change this line to `Listen 127.0.0.1:80`.

    ServerAdmin you@example.com

  This is the admin's email address which can be found on e.g. error pages.

    DocumentRoot "/srv/http"

  This is the directory where you should put your web pages.

  Change it, if you want to, but do not forget to also change `<Directory "/srv/http">` to whatever you changed your `DocumentRoot` to, or you will likely get a 403 Error (lack of privileges) when you try to access the new document root. Do not forget to change the `Require all denied` line to `Require all granted`, otherwise you will get a 403 Error. Remember that the DocumentRoot directory and its parent folders must allow execution permission to others (can be set with `chmod o+x /path/to/DocumentRoot`), otherwise you will get a 403 Error.

    AllowOverride None

  This directive in `<Directory>` sections causes Apache to completely ignore `.htaccess` files. Note that this is now the default for Apache 2.4, so you need to explicitly allow overrides if you plan to use `.htaccess` files. If you intend to use `mod_rewrite` or other settings in `.htaccess` files, you can allow which directives declared in that file can override server configuration. For more info refer to the Apache documentation.

Tip If you have issues with your configuration you can have Apache check the configuration with: `apachectl configtest`

More settings can be found in `/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf`:

To turn off your server's signature:

    ServerSignature Off

To hide server information like Apache and PHP versions:

    ServerTokens Prod

### User directories

User directories are available by default through http://localhost/~yourusername/ and show the contents of `~/public_html` (this can be changed in `/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf`).

If you do not want user directories to be available on the web, comment out the following line in `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`:

    Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

The factual accuracy of this article or section is disputed.

Reason: It is not necessary to set `+x` for every users, setting it only for the webserver via ACLs suffices (see Access Control Lists#Execution permissions for private files). (Discuss in Talk:Apache HTTP Server (Magyar)#User Directories)

You must make sure that your home directory permissions are set properly so that Apache can get there. Your home directory and `~/public_html` must be executable for others ("rest of the world"):

    $ chmod o+x ~
    $ chmod o+x ~/public_html
    $ chmod -R o+r ~/public_html

Restart `httpd.service` to apply any changes. See also Umask#Set the mask value.

### TLS

Warning If you deploy TLS, be sure to follow weakdh.org's guide to prevent vulnerabilities. For more information see Server-side TLS.

Firstly obtain a certificate. If you own a public domain, you can use Transport Layer Security#ACME clients.

In `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`, uncomment the following three lines:

    LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
    LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so
    Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

If using Certbot (`certbot --apache`), the following line needs to be uncommented as well:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

After obtaining a key and certificate, make sure the `SSLCertificateFile` and `SSLCertificateKeyFile` lines in `/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf` point to the key and certificate. If a concatenated chain of CA certificates was also generated, add that filename against `SSLCertificateChainFile`.

Finally, restart `httpd.service` to apply any changes.

Tip Mozilla has a useful SSL/TLS article as well as an automated tool to help create a more secure configuration.

### Virtual hosts

Note You will need to add a separate `<VirtualHost *:443>` section for virtual host SSL support. See #Managing many virtual hosts for an example file.

If you want to have more than one host, uncomment the following line in `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`:

    Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

In `/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf` set your virtual hosts. The default file contains an elaborate example that should help you get started.

To test the virtual hosts on your local machine, add the virtual names to your `/etc/hosts` file:

    127.0.0.1 domainname1.dom
    127.0.0.1 domainname2.dom

Restart `httpd.service` to apply any changes.

#### Managing many virtual hosts

Note Having your virtual servers separated into individual files is mandatory if you plan on using certbot to deploy TLS certificates. Having all your virtual servers listed in a single file (as it is by default) will result in certbot failing to deploy the certificates correctly

If you have a huge amount of virtual hosts, you may want to easily disable and enable them. It is recommended to create one configuration file per virtual host and store them all in one folder, eg: `/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts`.

First create the folder:

    # mkdir /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts

Then place the single configuration files in it:

    # nano /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/domainname1.dom
    # nano /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/domainname2.dom
    ...

In the last step, `Include` the single configurations in your `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`:

    #Enabled Vhosts:
    Include conf/vhosts/domainname1.dom
    Include conf/vhosts/domainname2.dom

You can enable and disable single virtual hosts by commenting or uncommenting them.

A very basic vhost file will look like this:

    /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/domainname1.dom

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@domainname1.dom
        DocumentRoot "/home/user/http/domainname1.dom"
        ServerName domainname1.dom
        ServerAlias domainname1.dom
        ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/domainname1.dom-error_log"
        CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/domainname1.dom-access_log" common

        <Directory "/home/user/http/domainname1.dom">
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

    <VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@domainname1.dom
        DocumentRoot "/home/user/http/domainname1.dom"
        ServerName domainname1.dom:443
        ServerAlias domainname1.dom:443
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile "/etc/httpd/conf/server.crt"
        SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/httpd/conf/server.key"
        ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/domainname1.dom-error_log"
        CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/domainname1.dom-access_log" common

        <Directory "/home/user/http/domainname1.dom">
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

## Extensions

### PHP

First install PHP, then follow one of the next three subsections below. Finally, test the installation as described in the final subsection.

#### Using libphp

This method is probably the easiest, but is also the least scalable: it is suitable for a light request load. It also requires you to change the mpm module, which may cause problems with other extensions (e.g. it is not compatible with #HTTP/2).

Install php-apache.

Note If you are using pinned old versions of PHP from AUR, then you should install corresponding pinned version of php-apache, i.e. php56-apacheAUR for php56AUR.

In `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`, comment the line:

    #LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so

and uncomment the line:

    LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

Note The above is required, because `libphp.so` included with the package does not work with `mod_mpm_event`, but will only work with `mod_mpm_prefork` instead. (FS#39218)

Otherwise you will get the following error:

    Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP.
    AH00013: Pre-configuration failed
    httpd.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1

As an alternative, you can use `mod_proxy_fcgi` (see #Using php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi below).

To enable PHP, add these lines to `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`:

- Place this at the end of the `LoadModule` list:

    LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so
    AddHandler php-script .php

- Place this at the end of the `Include` list:

    Include conf/extra/php_module.conf

then restart `httpd.service`.

Note For AUR pinned version of PHP, substitute `php_module`, `libphp.so` and `php_module.conf` above accordingly. For example, `php5_module`, `libphp56.so` and `php56-module.conf` for php56-apacheAUR.

If you are unsure of the correct substitution, use `pacman -Ql phpXX-apache` to list the correct substitutions of `libphp.so` and `php_module.conf`, then use `nm /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphpXX.so` to find the correct substitution of `php_module`.

#### Using apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid

This method provides improved performance and memory usage when serving multiple requests.

Install mod_fcgidAUR and php-cgi.

Create the needed directory and symlink it for the PHP wrapper:

    # mkdir /srv/http/fcgid-bin
    # ln -s /usr/bin/php-cgi /srv/http/fcgid-bin/php-fcgid-wrapper

Create `/etc/httpd/conf/extra/php-fcgid.conf` with the following content:

    /etc/httpd/conf/extra/php-fcgid.conf

    # Required modules: fcgid_module

    <IfModule fcgid_module>
        AddHandler php-fcgid .php
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        Action php-fcgid /fcgid-bin/php-fcgid-wrapper
        ScriptAlias /fcgid-bin/ /srv/http/fcgid-bin/
        SocketPath /var/run/httpd/fcgidsock
        SharememPath /var/run/httpd/fcgid_shm
            # If you don't allow bigger requests many applications may fail (such as WordPress login)
            FcgidMaxRequestLen 536870912
            # Path to php.ini – defaults to /etc/phpX/cgi
            DefaultInitEnv PHPRC=/etc/php/
            # Number of PHP children that will be launched. Leave undefined to let PHP decide.
            #DefaultInitEnv PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN 3
            # Maximum requests before a process is stopped and a new one is launched
            #DefaultInitEnv PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS 5000
        <Location /fcgid-bin/>
            SetHandler fcgid-script
            Options +ExecCGI
        </Location>
    </IfModule>

Edit `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`:

- Uncomment the loading of the actions module:

      LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.so

- Load the FCGID module after the loading of the unixd module (on which it is dependent) - you may wish to place this within the `<IfModule unixd_module>` block:

      LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so

- Ensure that the inclusion of the MPM configuration is uncommented (it is uncommented in the default installed version of this file):

      Include conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf

- Add an inclusion of your new FCGID configuration:

      Include conf/extra/php-fcgid.conf

Restart `httpd.service`.

#### Using php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi

This method provides "an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features (mostly) useful for heavy-loaded sites" [1].

Note Unlike the widespread setup with ProxyPass, the proxy configuration with SetHandler respects other Apache directives like DirectoryIndex. This ensures a better compatibility with software designed for libphp, mod_fastcgi and mod_fcgid. If you still want to try ProxyPass, experiment with a line like this:

    ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/srv/http/$1

Install php-fpm.

Enable proxy modules:

    /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
    LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so

Create `/etc/httpd/conf/extra/php-fpm.conf` with the following content:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
    </FilesMatch>

And include it at the bottom of `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`:

    Include conf/extra/php-fpm.conf

Note The pipe between `sock` and `fcgi` is not allowed to be surrounded by a space! `localhost` can be replaced by any string. More here

You can configure PHP-FPM in `/etc/php/php-fpm.d/www.conf`, but the default setup should work fine.

Start and enable `php-fpm.service`, then restart `httpd.service`.

#### Test whether PHP works

To test whether PHP was correctly configured, create a file called `test.php` in your Apache `DocumentRoot` directory (e.g. `/srv/http/` or `~<username>/public_html/`) with the following contents:

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then go to http://localhost/test.php or http://localhost/~<username>/test.php as appropriate.

### HTTP/2

Note

- While Apache supports unencrypted HTTP/2 over TCP (`h2c`), common browsers do not. Thus for use with the latter, #TLS must be enabled first.
- If supporting clients do not use HTTP/2 instead of HTTP/1.1 and Mozilla's configuration generator (which already includes the `Protocols` line below) was used to setup #TLS, try `Include`ing `httpd-ssl.conf` after the latter's output.
- Ways to test include `curl -sI https://your.website` or use http indicator (supports both chromium based browsers and firefox based browsers).

To enable HTTP/2 over TLS support, uncomment the following line in `httpd.conf`:

    LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so

And add the following line:

    Protocols h2 http/1.1

To debug, you can set only the module rather than the entire server to `debug` or `info`:

    <IfModule http2_module>
        LogLevel http2:info
    </IfModule>

For more information – including extra HTTP/2 feature settings – see the mod_http2 documentation.

Warning The `http2_module` is incompatible with the `mpm_prefork_module` that old configurations widely use to setup PHP. Consider using php-fpm instead.

## Troubleshooting

### Apache Status and Logs

See the status of the Apache daemon with systemctl.

Apache logs can be found in `/var/log/httpd/`

### Error: PID file /run/httpd/httpd.pid not readable (yet?) after start

Comment out the `unique_id_module` line in `httpd.conf`: `#LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so`

### /run/httpd not being created at boot

If `systemd-tmpfiles --create` as the root user complains about "unsafe path transition", check ownership of your root directory.

    ls -la /
    chown root:root /

### Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.

If when loading `php_module` the `httpd.service` fails, you may get an error like this in the journal:

    Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP.

This is because PHP includes support for a module that is not threadsafe, and you are trying to use a threaded MPM. One solution to fix this is to use a non-threaded MPM. Try replacing `mpm_event_module` with `mpm_prefork_module`:

    /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
    LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

and restart `httpd.service`.

Warning Some other modules, like the `http2_module`, will disable themselves when `mpm_prefork` is active.

### AH00534: httpd: Configuration error: No MPM loaded.

You might encounter this error after a recent upgrade. This is only the result of a recent change in `httpd.conf` that you might not have reproduced in your local configuration. To fix it, uncomment the following line:

    /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

and restart `httpd.service`.

### AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address

This can be caused by multiple things. Most common issue being that something is already listening on a given port, check via ss that this is not happening:

    # ss -lnp | grep -e :80 -e :443

If you get any output, stop the given service that's taking up the port or kill the runaway process that is causing the port to be bound, and try again.

Another issue could be that Apache is not starting as root for some reason - try starting it manually and see if you still get the AH0072 error.

    # httpd -k start

Finally, you can also have an error with your configuration and you are listening twice on the given port. Following is an example of a bad configuration that will trigger this issue:

    Listen 0.0.0.0:80
    Listen [::]:80

### AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown'

This can be caused by `ProtectHome=true` in the php-fpm systemd unit file if you are serving files in `/home` such as in a virtual host environment. You can disable this feature by editing the php-fpm unit file and restarting `php-fpm.service`. Alternatively, move your document root.

### Changing the max_execution_time in php.ini has no effect

If you changed the `max_execution_time` in `php.ini` to a value greater than 30 (seconds), you may still get a `503 Service Unavailable` response from Apache after 30 seconds. To solve this, add a `ProxyTimeout` directive to your http configuration right before the `<FilesMatch \.php$>` block:

    /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    ProxyTimeout 300

and restart `httpd.service`.

### PHP-FPM: errors are not being logged separately per virtual host

If you have multiple virtual hosts, it may be desirable to have each of them output their error logs to separate files (using the ErrorLog Apache directive). If this is not working for you, confirm that PHP-FPM is configured to log errors to syslog:

    /etc/php/php-fpm.conf

    error_log = syslog

It is also possible that the pool configuration is overriding it. Ensure the following line is commented out:

    /etc/php/php-fpm.d/www.conf

    ;php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/fpm-php.www.log
