This project automates the setup of a simple web server using Apache HTTP Server on a RHEL-based Linux distribution. It leverages a Bash script to streamline the installation, configuration, and deployment of a static webpage.

• Automated installation of Apache HTTP Server.
• Configures the firewall to allow HTTP traffic.
• Creates a custom HTML webpage.
• Sets up file permissions and ownership for secure hosting.
• Outputs the server's IP address for quick access.

• A RHEL-based Linux distribution (e.g., RHEL, CentOS, Fedora).
• Root or sudo privileges.
• Internet connection for package installation.

1. The Bash script updates the system and installs Apache HTTP Server.
2. Configures the firewall to allow HTTP (port 80) traffic.
3. Creates a custom HTML page and deploys it on the web server.
4. Displays the server's IP address for testing.
