Server Configuration Guide

HTTP Configuration

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of web communication.

To configure an HTTP server, ensure that your web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx) is set up properly.

# Apache example:

    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html

HTTPS & SSL

HTTPS secures communication by encrypting data using SSL/TLS.

To enable HTTPS, you need an SSL certificate. Here's an example for Apache:

# Apache SSL configuration:

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key

Server Security

Securing your server is crucial to prevent attacks.

  • Disable unnecessary services.
  • Use a firewall (iptables, UFW).
  • Keep software updated.
  • Enforce strong authentication.
