Apache is a Free and Open Source HTTP web server that runs on most UNIX-based operating systems as well as on Windows. As such, it can be used to serve static web pages and handle dynamic content. Recent reports show that Apache is the number one server used in websites and Internet-facing computers.

To install an Apache module, you would typically say –enable-{module-name}. For example, to install SSL with Apache, it is –enable-ssl. To install ldap module, it is –enable-ldap.

Installing Apache 2.4 on a Linux machine typically involves the following steps:

1. Update your system: Before installing any new software, it's a good idea to update your system. This can be done by running the command: sudo apt-get update

2. Install Apache: To install Apache, you can use the package manager of your Linux distribution. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the command: sudo apt-get install apache2

3. Start Apache: Once the installation is complete, start the Apache service by running the command: sudo systemctl start apache2

4. Enable Apache: To make sure Apache starts automatically after a reboot, run the command: sudo systemctl enable apache2

5. Test the installation: To test that Apache has been installed and configured correctly, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost. You should see the default Apache web page, which confirms that the installation was successful.

6. Configure Apache: Apache configuration files are located in the /etc/apache2 directory. The main configuration file is httpd.conf, but most of the configuration is done in separate files in the conf-enabled and sites-enabled directories.

Please note that the above steps are based on Ubuntu and other distributions may have different commands and package names.

It's also important to keep in mind that the Apache version and the distribution of Linux you're using can affect the installation process and commands you'll use. It's always recommended to refer to the documentation of the specific version of Apache and Linux distribution you're using.

As you mentioned a question and you are new to configuring a web server on AlmaLinux. I came across a step-by-step installation guide (https://www.dedicatedcore.com/blog/install-apache-almalinux/) from DedicatedCore. It’s an excellent resource for installing Apache and ensuring your setup runs smoothly.
