HOW TO INSTALL HTTP SERVER ON REDHAT ?

The hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) was originally designed for transferring word wide web (www) documents and has been extended to transfer other types of files as well. Its most common use is transferring web pages between a web browser and a web server.

HTTP uses TCP port 80 by default.

                        #serveradmin 192.168.122.3
