This is a documentation of how I deployed a web page using AWS EC2 with Apache 2 on Ubuntu. It aims to set up a web server environment and deploy my HTML, CSS, and image files, making my web page accessible via a public IP address.

• An AWS account with the necessary permissions to create and manage EC2 instances.
• Basic knowledge of using Git for version control.
• Familiarity with SSH for connecting to remote servers.
• A GitHub repository set up to store my project files.

1. Create GitHub Repository

   • I create a new repository on GitHub to store my project files.

     $ git init
     $ git add .
     $ git commit -m "Initial commit"
     $ git remote add origin <repository_url>
     $ git push -u origin main

2. AWS Setup

   • I create an AWS account if not already done.
   • I configure an IAM user with appropriate permissions for EC2 instance management.

3. Launch EC2 Instance

   • I launch an Ubuntu EC2 instance with desired configurations (e.g., instance type, security groups).

     $ aws ec2 run-instances --image-id <image_id> --instance-type <instance_type> --key-name <key_name> --security-group-ids <security_group_ids> --subnet-id <subnet_id>

4. SSH into EC2 Instance

   • I connect to my EC2 instance using SSH.

     $ ssh -i <key.pem> ubuntu@<public_ip>

5. Install Apache 2

   • I install Apache 2 web server on the EC2 instance.

     $ sudo apt update
     $ sudo apt install apache2

6. Clone GitHub Repository

   • I clone my GitHub repository into the EC2 instance.

     $ git clone <repository_url>

7. Deploy Web Files

   • I move my project files (HTML, CSS, images, etc.) to the Apache web directory.

     $ sudo mv /path/to/my/project/* /var/www/html/

8. Configure Apache 2

   • I configure Apache to serve my web page correctly.
     • If necessary, I edit the Apache configuration files (/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf) to set up virtual hosts or customize server settings.
     • I restart Apache to apply changes.

       $ sudo systemctl restart apache2

9. View the Deployed Site

   • I access my web page through the public IP address of my EC2 instance in a web browser.

     http://<public_ip>
     

My web page is now deployed and accessible via the configured EC2 instance and Apache web server.
