Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page

It works!

This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of theApache2 server after installation on Ubuntu systems. It is based on theequivalent page on Debian, from which the Ubuntu Apache packaging is derived.If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed atthis site is working properly. You should replace this file (locatedat /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.

If you are anormal user of this web site and don't know what this page is about, thisprobably means that the site is currently unavailable due to maintenance. Ifthe problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.

Configuration Overview

Ubuntu's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstreamdefault configuration, and split into several files optimized for interactionwith Ubuntu tools. The configuration system is fully documented in/usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full documentation.Documentation for the web server itself can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc package wasinstalled on this server.

The configurationlayout for an Apache2 web server installation on Ubuntu systems is as follows:

/etc/apache2/

|-- apache2.conf

|       `--  ports.conf

|-- mods-enabled

|       |-- *.load

|       `-- *.conf

|-- conf-enabled

|       `-- *.conf

|-- sites-enabled

|       `-- *.conf

         

• apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together byincluding all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server.

• ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used todetermine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can becustomized anytime.

• Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directoriescontain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, globalconfiguration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively.

• They are activated by symlinking availableconfiguration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. Theseshould be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite,a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed information.

• The binary is called apache2. Due to theuse of environment variables, in the default configuration, apache2 needs to bestarted/stopped with /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration.

  Document Roots

  By default, Ubuntu does not allow access through the web browser to any fileapart of those located in /var/www, public_html directories(when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document rootlocated elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

  The default Ubuntu document root is /var/www/html. You can make yourown virtual hosts under /var/www. This is different to previous releases whichprovides better security out of the box.

  Reporting Problems

  Please use the ubuntu-bug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Ubuntu. However,check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug.

  Please report bugsspecific to modules (such as PHP and others) to respective packages, not to theweb server itself.
