Enterprise Java for Linux HOWTO 

Download, Installation, and Setting up Your Environment 

Rather than downloading from Apache, I suggest you initially try the Apache that most likely came with your

Linux distribution. 

Alternatively, Apache can be obtained from 

 http://www.apache.org

. 

Confirming Your Installation 

To confirm that Apache is installed and running on your computer, open your web browser, and enter the

URL: "http://127.0.0.1".  (127.0.0.1 is the IP address for the localhost.) 

You should see a web page to the effect of "It Worked!" 

If it did not work, you can confirm that Apache is installed by typing the following on a RedHat Package

Manager (RPM)-based Linux distribution. 

rpm -q | grep apache

To start Apache, type: 

cd /etc/rc.d/init.d

./httpd start

Note: The httpd script used at boot time may be in a different location on other Linux distributions. 

For more assistance, I suggest you look into the Apache FAQ at 

 http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html
