FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the most common method of uploading files to a server. A number of FTP servers, such as ProFTPD, and FTP clients exist for every platform.

The Apache web server is one of the most popular and powerful web servers in the world due in part to its ease of administration and flexibility. This flexibility is a result of Apache’s modular design, which allows for such features as URL rewriting for native SSL encryption natively. Administrators can modify Apache to meet their needs by adding or removing modules as needed.

Apache is the world’s most popular web server, due in part to its power, ease of administration, and flexibility. In this tutorial we will install Apache on a server that doesn’t have a web server or database server already installed.

Pre-Flight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for removing a user on Fedora 23. The process on most other Linux operating systems is identical.
• For this tutorial, we’ll be using a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 23 server, logged in as root.

Pre-Flight Check

Apache is the most commonly used web server software on the Internet, and for good reason. Its long history, general reliability, thorough documentation and active support community have helped it grow to include support for nearly anything a web developer can think to throw at it. But Apache’s universal support has not come without some trade-offs.

Liquid Web has introduced a new feature designed to simplify the removal of errant IP address blocks in the firewall, and allow customers to quickly remove their own address from within their Manage dashboard. In this manner, customers can remove blocks on their IP addresses even when they are unable to access WebHost Manager itself due to the block.

Ansible is an automation engine, similar to Chef or Puppet, that can be used to ensure deployment and configuration consistency across many servers, and keep servers and applications up to date. Unlike some other tools, Ansible does not require a client component/agent.
