Run a Web and DNS Server on Linux (Bind9, Apache2, PHP, MySql, Wordpress)

Welcome to this class on how to set up a WEB and DNS server and how to run web applications on Linux.

By the end of this course, you'll have all the in-depth knowledge of how to get and host your own domain, how to install and configure the Apache Web server, PHP, and MySql and make them work together. We’ll dive deep into Apache configuration and security.

I’ll teach you how to install, configure, and secure the most used web application in the world which is WordPress.

Since this is intermediate Linux and you are required to already master the basics of Linux commands and concepts before enrolling in this class.

My advice is to first check my other class on Master Linux Administration published here on SkillsShare; it will help you build a strong foundation of Linux and you’ll get the skills to get ahead!

The class projects will help you use the knowledge in a practical way and the skills you’ll learn will broaden your horizons and increase your value on the job market.
