Installing the Apache Web Server on Ubuntu Linux
sudo apt-get install apache2
</pre>
 
The installing process will not only install, but also start up the web server.
 
== Testing the Web Server ==
 
Once the installation is complete the next step is to verify the web server is up and running. To do this fireup the web browser by clicking on the Firefox logo and enter ''127.0.0.1/apache2-default'' in the address bar (127.0.0.1 is the loop-back network address wich tells the system to connect to the local machine). The browser should load a page that reads ''It works!''.
 
Congratulations, you have now installed the web server and served up your first web page.
