Install Apache from source code

How to Install Apache from Source Code.

1) first of all  we require  following source code
(a) apr (Apache portable run time libraries) https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi

(b)  apr-util (apache portable runtime utilities) https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi

(c) pcre-(python compatable regular expressions  https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre-8.41.tar.gz

(d) httpd  -https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache24/httpd-2.4.27.tar.gz

I made one directory  named abhay and download all these 4 source code .
  mkdir abhay

2) extract all files using tar command

a) tar -xvzf apr-1.6.2.tar.gz
b) tar -xvzf apr-util-1.6.0.tar.gz
c) tar -xvzf pcre-8.41.tar.gz
d) tar -xvzf httpd-2.4.27.tar.gz

3) mkdir -p /usr/local/pcre
Now under abhay directory go to pcre folder
and run this command

(a) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pcre

(b) now run make command (make is build tool to build all files

(c) now run make install

step4 )
now we  mv apr-1.6.2  apr (for omitting version as ease for naming)
 a) mv apr-1.6.2  apr

b) mv apr-util-1.6.0 apr-util

and now move all these files  apr apr-util under httpd-2.4.27/srclib

c) mv apr httpd-2.4.12/srclib/
d) mv apr-util httpd-2.4.27/srclib

e) ls httpd-2.4.27/srclib/

and  run command
f)cd httpd-2.4.27/

step 6)
now run command

./configure       (to compile and build the source code)

step7)
mkdir -p /opt/apache2

./configure --prefix=/opt/apache2/ --with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre

step 8)
run a) make

     b) make install

step9)
cd /opt/apache2
under apache2 folder we will find bin
cd /bin

step 10)
under cd /bin

apachectl
./apachectl  (run this script)
 or you also run this command
systemctl restart apache2.services

type ifconfig and open ip in browser

In My case http:// 192.168.5.70:80
