Httpd Server



Apache HTTPD is an HTTP server daemon produced by the Apache Foundation. It is a piece of software that listens for network requests (which are expressed using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and responds to them. It is open source and many entities use it to host their websites. NCSA HTTPd is an early, now discontinued, web server originally developed at the NCSA at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign by Robert McCool and others. First released in 1993, it was among the earliest web servers developed, following Tim Berners-Lee's CERN httpd, Tony Sanders' Plexus server, and some others. Jun 26, 2019 In this post, we will look at the steps to launch HTTPD Server on AWS EC2 Instance and start serving HTML pages. AWS EC2 (also known as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) provides scalable computing capacity on-demand. It is a core component of Amazon Web Services. You can think of AWS EC2 as a server that you pay for based on your usage. Apache HTTPD is an HTTP server daemon produced by the Apache Foundation.
