Check Apache2 Syntax

Check Apache2 Configuration Syntax

I will use Ubuntu 14.04.5 Desktop Version for this tutorials. You can check by typing command

$ cat /etc/*-release

Checking Linux Release information (It works in any flavour of Linux)

 I already has recorded an video for Installation can see following Link

But I will guide to install as here

# apt install apache2

Press Y and enter for installation

If all is good then you will see like this.

Installation done successfully

After successful installation, you can verify by typing sudo service apache2 status / or Open Browser and type http://localhost

Test Window

Now Open Terminal run apachectl -t, You can either type apache2ctl -t

Default configuration having an warning

Now open /etc/apache2/apache.conf file in any editor, I Prefer to open it in nano

# nano /etc/apache2/apache.conf

Add a line anywhere in page

ServerName localhost

Same time, I make an error Press CTRL+W   type Timeout remove last t from content

Now save and exit by typing CTRL+X and Y, Save restart Service by typing

# service apache2 restart

Now,

# apache2ctl -t

Error along with filename and line number, misspelled Command etc.

Now, can correct error as we done by own so correct and again restart server and check again syntax by running apachectl -t

Now hope you are able to see message like after all correction along with ServerName setup.

Syntax Ok All done

I hope some issue are resolved by following this tutorials related to syntax checking.
