Apache Web Server Initial Setup

AH

If you have any experience with the initial setup of Apache Web Server, it is not a big deal. I think it is a good solution. I know we don't have any problems with doing the setup when we have to because we have years of experience.  

In the worst-case scenario, most people can do the basic setup in maybe one day. But for experienced people like us, it takes just a couple of hours. Even if you want to make sure about the services and the security issues and do some more complicated deployment and customization, maybe one day is enough for that.

We can deploy the solution within two hours. It is easy to set up. The implementation is not complex. 

We simply install the related packages and set them up and secure it with security models as needed.

We only need two people to manage the setup. They are engineers.

The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.

The product's deployment phase is easy for me because if I want to install it, then I need to pay the price for the solution, and it's easy and similar to NGINX. In general, deployment and installation are easy processes.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. My company has a private cloud infrastructure, which is not AWS or GCP.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up. 

It is deployed both on-premises and cloud. The deployment time depends on the requirements and the customer's environment. If it is only local and country-wide, it will only take two to three days.

For me, it's okay because I'm experienced with it. But changing ports might be tricky for beginners. Maybe making port numbers easier to understand could be helpful.

The absence of a straightforward, one-way installation procedure adds complexity. Instead of a streamlined setup with a few clicks or steps tailored to specific team settings, the process often involves dealing with various intricacies.

The solution's initial setup was straightforward. It also provides a cross-platform deployment to run it on Linux and Windows. As a beginner, the installation process took me two days to complete. But it was much easier later as I got exceptionally equipped with it. Also, deploying it on a standalone system takes a lot of work. Comparatively, I found it easy to deploy it as a module using XAMPP.

The initial setup was straightforward and depended on the operating system. If it's Windows, it is simple when installing. On Linux, it's also straightforward, especially if you want to use specific packages. For example, if you are using Central West Linux or Uganda, they provide a package specific to that distribution. So with a simple command, you can install the Apache Web Server, and all its dependencies will be installed as well.

The configuration is complicated compared to the installation. However, if you need a lot of knowledge about the HTTP protocol, how websites work, and how each module of Apache can work or talk with other modules, it is handled by the core service of the attachable server. The configuration is done by the person or department that deploys the application in the server, so they configure the Apache Web Server.

Maintaining requires two people, myself and another colleague. If another company develops an application, it will maintain the Apache Web Server. But we only maintain the operating system, installing updates and system configurations. But the maintenance of the Apache Web Server and the work application is made by that company, not us.

The initial setup is not complex at all. We were able to very easily set up and deploy the solution. It was straightforward.

The deployment is very fast. Everything is smooth. The setting firewall, everything, is quick and then it just takes one or two hours to install it.

Since the setup is pretty easy, you only really need two people to deploy it.

The initial setup is straightforward. If you are just learning or reading about this solution, the decisions to make are not very complex.
