Configure Webserver in AWS EC2 instance.

 After launching an instance in aws. We can make it a webserver to launch websites or other things.

Launching EC2 instance using CLI

To configure any instance a webserver there are 3 steps to follow

1. Download the server software.

2. Configuring it in our system.

3. Starting the server.

Here we are using Linux instance so, the software will be httpd.

To install it type command

yum install httpd


After that type y to install it.
Now, It has been installed and to start the service, type

systemctl start httpd


Note-  This is temporary start as when you will shutdown your instance then next time again you have to start the service. To make it autostart whenever you launch your instance, instead of above command use 
systemctl enable httpd

Note- Here, the ipadress that is hosted is my public IP. Our instance has been started working as a server and client can view the files present in the folder /var/www/html by using url http://public-ip/filename.html.
For this we have to set our inbound rules in aws. 

Now, lets make a html file.

Go to the file


Use the vim editor to edit

Press i to type and type your code

Type :wq to save it

Now to access this file use the url http://public-ip/filename.html

Thank You for reading.

I would like to thanks Vimal Daga Sir.
