Fedora 32 -- Httpd - set up a web server

su
dnf -y install httpd
firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
systemctl start httpd.service
systemctl enable httpd.service

Now, where do files need to go? I aim a browser at my host and see the usual Fedora test page. Apparently this is apache, and who knows why Fedora doesn't just call it that, but whatever. The test page tells me to put content into /var/www/html . I copy an index.html file there from some other content I have laying around, hit reload in my browser, and there it is! So they weren't lying to me.

I would rather put my web content on /u1/www. Doing that involves editing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf . I make the changes here to change the documentroot to /u1/www and restart the server:

systemctl restart httpd.service

I toss a file into /u1/www, hit reload on my browser, and it all looks good.

The tricks to set up "public_html" directories are in /etc/httpd/conf.d/userdir.conf .
