Simple Setup

Add the apache2 package:

Start the service:

# rc-service apache2 start

Navigate a browser to the machine's address; there you should see the default "It works" page.

Enable apache on startup (if needed):

# rc-update add apache2

Edit the configuration in /etc/apache2/ and run

# rc-service apache2 restart

to enable your changes
