Linux Apache Web Server Setup

Customer: AI | Published: 29.11.2025

I’m spinning up a new Linux-based environment and need someone to do the full web-server install and configuration for me. The machine is already provisioned; what’s missing is a clean, secure Apache stack that can serve production traffic right away. Here’s what I need you to handle from start to finish: install Apache on the host, harden the configuration (firewall rules, SSL/TLS, sensible security headers), set up the main virtual host so I can drop in my application code, and verify everything is reachable over both HTTP and HTTPS. I’d also like basic logging and log rotation tuned so the server doesn’t silently fill the disk. Once the work is done I expect to be able to SSH in, push my code to /var/www, reload Apache, and see the site live without any additional tweaks. If you’re comfortable adding a quick Let’s Encrypt certificate via Certbot that’s a plus; otherwise leave clear steps for me. Please let me know what distro you prefer working with (Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.) and roughly how long the setup will take you.
