Project: Web Server Setup Script

Overview

This project offers a shell script to facilitate setting up a web server on a Linux system. The script automates the process of installing dependencies, deploying a website (using a template from tooplate.com as an example), and configuring the Apache HTTP server.

Features

• Dependency Installation: Automatically installs necessary packages using yum.
• Service Management: Starts and enables the Apache HTTPD service.
• Artifact Deployment: Downloads a website template from Tooplate and deploys it to the server.
• Service Restart: Restarts the HTTPD service to apply changes.
• Cleanup: Removes temporary files after deployment.

Script Explanation

The provided shell script (websetup.sh) performs the following steps:

1. Installing Dependencies: Installs required packages such as wget, unzip, and httpd.

   sudo yum install wget unzip httpd -y > /dev/null

2. Starting and Enabling HTTPD Service: Initiates the Apache HTTPD service and ensures it starts on system boot.

   sudo systemctl start httpd
   sudo systemctl enable httpd

3. Creating a Temp Directory: Sets up a temporary directory for artifact deployment.

   mkdir -p /tmp/webfiles
   cd /tmp/webfiles

4. Downloading and Deploying Website Artifact: Retrieves a website template from Tooplate, unzips it, and copies the contents to the Apache web root directory.

   wget https://www.tooplate.com/zip-templates/2110_character.zip > /dev/null
   unzip 2110_character.zip > /dev/null
   sudo cp -r 2110_character/* /var/www/html/

5. Restarting HTTPD Service: Restarts the Apache HTTPD service to apply changes.

   systemctl restart httpd

6. Cleaning Up: Removes temporary files created during deployment.

   rm -rf /tmp/webfiles

7. Verification: Displays the status of the HTTPD service and lists files in the web root directory.

   sudo systemctl status httpd
   ls /var/www/html/
