How to install Apache on Ubuntu Amazon EC2 Instance – AWS. Apache is the most widely used HTTP web server which provides dynamic loading modules, easily integrating with other applications.

This guide helps you to install Apache on Ubuntu 18.04 on AWS EC2 Instance and configure firewall (UFW).

This tutorial is tested on an AWS EC2 Instance with Ubuntu 18.04 AMI, So, this will work on any servers running Ubuntu 18.04.

Prerequisites

A running EC2 Instance. Learn how to create an AWS EC2 instance.
Assigned a Elastic IP to your EC2 Instance.
Successful SSH connection to your EC2 Instance.

SSH to your EC2 Instance and perform the steps listed below.

Install Apache

Let’s start by updating the local package index with the following command.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Install Apache 2 package from the Ubuntu repository.

sudo apt install apache2

This will install apache2 and all required dependencies.

Setup Firewall

Now you can set up Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) with Apache to allow public access on default web ports for HTTP and HTTPS

sudo ufw app list

You will see all listed applications.

Output
Available applications:
   Apache
   Apache Full
   Apache Secure
   OpenSSH

Apache: This profile opens 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)
OpenSSH: This profile opens port 22 for SSH access.

If you are not going to use SSL you need to enable only the Apache profile.

Now we will enable Apache Full.

sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'

With this command you can view the status of UFW.

sudo ufw status

You will see the output as follows.

Output
Status: active
 To                         Action      From

 Apache Full                ALLOW       Anywhere                  
 OpenSSH                    ALLOW       Anywhere                  
 Apache Full (v6)           ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)             
 OpenSSH (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

Check Apache Installation

Once Apache is installed is is started automatically and already be up and running.
