Description
        Apache web server is widely used web server software for web sites hosting and back to backup Nginx and other servers are there. This course will take you from the basic web server concept to the advanced topics in Apache. This course is mainly focused on concept of Apache  and their associated modules. What are those modules and what are the associated directives and how those directives we can use effectively to achieve our purpose of hosting websites, monitoring performance, optimizing configuration etc. Effective use modules to get the best from Apache has been tried to outlined in this course. Along with it, Securing Apache has been covered in length. ModSecurity Module along with OWASP core rule sets has been covered in depth.  Now a days, hacking is very common for web servers. Hence vulnerabilities mitigation lecture have been added to make your Apache vulnerable free.   As Letsencrypt SSL certificate is being widely used across IT world, in this course 2 lectures are added on demoing how to use LetsEncrypt SSL certificate for securing website with HTTPSSo we are going to start with:1. What is web server?2. Install and configure Apache3. Directory Structure4, Logging5. Core modules and other modules in Apache6. Virtual hosts7. Aliases and redirectingAnd then we'll move on to:8. Securing you Apache9. Monitor performance10. Reduce your configuration work with Macros in httpd11. Load balancing using Apache12. Lets encrypt free SSL certificate for HTTPS13. Nagios installation with Apache14. Configuring ModSecurity WAF using OWASP CRS15. Install LAMP Stacks16. Vulnerability Mitigation          With that there will be 24 hour support for any questions or suggestions in the discussion forum. And now after this description you must be concerned on what are you going to get out of this course by the end ! By the end of this course you will have the skills needed to administrate Apache web server.
