15. Update your instance `sudo yum update -y`
16. Install Apache Web Server, MySQL, PHP `sudo yum install -y httpd24 php70 mysql56-server php70-mysqlnd`
17. Start the Apache Web Server `sudo service httpd start`
18. Make it so Apache Web Server runs on server boot: `sudo chkconfig httpd on`
19. Verify it with: `chkconfig --list httpd` and `httpd           0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off`
20. Go to your Public DNS or IPv4 Public IP: Example: ec2-54-152-134-146.compute-1.amazonaws.com
21. Create a new user group `sudo groupadd www`
22. Add our EC2 User to this group `sudo usermod -a -G www ec2-user`
23. Leave the current session `exit`
24. Sign back in. Swap in your file name and ip address: `ssh -i "ServerPair.pem" ec2-user@ec2-54-152-134-146.compute-1.amazonaws.com`
25. Verify `www` exists by running: `groups`
26. Give `www` permission on server files `/var/www` with `sudo chown -R root:www /var/www`
27. Change file permissions: `sudo chmod 2775 /var/www` and `find /var/www -type d -exec sudo chmod 2775 {} \;`
28. Add a `index.html` in `var/www/html` so `touch /var/www/html/index.html` and `vi /var/www/html/index.html` then add content.
29. Go back to Instances (like the list)
30. Right click on your new instance, select `Networking`, then `Change Security Group`
31. Take note of which one is selected
32. Open Security Groups on the left side: [https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/)
33. Edit the Inbound rules for that security group already assigned.
34. Add Rule and set the type to be `HTTP`
35. Files sit in `ls -l /var/www`
36. Go to your IPv4 and you should see `Hello World!`
