 Step 1: Installing Apache
 ----------------------------------------------
 For updating the local package: 
 > sudo apt update
 > sudo apt-get upgrade

 Install the apache2 package:
 > sudo apt install apache2

 Step 2: Adjusting the Firewall
 ----------------------------------------------
 List the UFW application:
 > sudo ufw app list

 Receive a list of the applications: Output
 Available applications:
  Apache
  Apache Full
  Apache Secure
  OpenSSH

 As indicated by the output, there are three profiles available for Apache:
 Apache:        This profile opens only port 80 (normal, unencrypted web traffic)
 Apache Full:   This profile opens both port 80 (normal, unencrypted web traffic) and port 443 (TLS/SSL encrypted traffic)
 Apache Secure: This profile opens only port 443 (TLS/SSL encrypted traffic)
  
 We will only need to allow traffic on port 80:
 > sudo ufw allow 'Apache'

 Can verify the change:
 > sudo ufw status

 The output will provide a list of allowed HTTP traffic: Output
 Status: active

 To                         Action      From
 --                         ------      ----
 OpenSSH                    ALLOW       Anywhere                  
 Apache                     ALLOW       Anywhere                
 OpenSSH (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)             
 Apache (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

 Step 3: Checking your Web Server
 ----------------------------------------------
 Check the service is running:
 > sudo systemctl status apache2 

 Enter it into your browser’s address bar:
 http://your_domain 
 or, 
 http://your_server_ip 

 You should see the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page.

 Step 5: Setting Up Virtual Hosts
 ----------------------------------------------

 Create the directory for "your_domain.com" as follows:
 > sudo mkdir /var/www/your_domain.com

 Next, assign ownership of the directory with the $USER environment variable:
 > sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/your_domain.com

 Allow the owner to read, write, and execute the files while granting only read and execute permissions to groups and others:
 > sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/your_domain.com

 Next, create a sample index.html page using nano:
 > sudo nano /var/www/your_domain/index.html

 Add the following sample HTML code:
 <html>
  <head>
      <title>Welcome to Your_domain!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
      <h1>Hello World</h1>
      <h3>The your_domain virtual host is working!</h3>
  </body>
 </html>

 In order for Apache to serve this content, it’s necessary to create a virtual host file with the correct directives:
 sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/your_domain.com.conf

 Paste in the following configuration block, but updated for our new directory and domain name:
 <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@your_domain.com
    ServerName your_domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your_domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/your_domain.com
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
 </VirtualHost>

 Let’s enable the file with the a2ensite tool:
 > sudo a2ensite your_domain.conf

 Disable the default site defined in 000-default.conf:
 > sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

 Next, let’s test for configuration errors:
 > sudo apache2ctl configtest

 You should receive the following output:
 Syntax OK

 Restart Apache to implement your changes:
 > sudo systemctl restart apache2

 Enter it into your browser’s address bar:
 http://your_domain 
 or, 
 http://your_server_ip 

 You should see the HTML Page.

 Extra: Managing the Apache Process:
 ----------------------------------------------
 To stop your web server, type:
 > sudo systemctl stop apache2

 To start the web server when it is stopped, type:
 > sudo systemctl start apache2

 To stop and then start the service again, type:
 > sudo systemctl restart apache2

 If you are simply making configuration changes, Apache can often reload without dropping connections. 
 Use this command:
 > sudo systemctl reload apache2

 To re-enable the service to start up at boot, type:
 > sudo systemctl enable apache2

 Necessary softwares:
 ----------------------------------------------

 Install zip extension with below command:
 > sudo apt install zip unzip
