3. Testing HTTPd

After you have installed HTTPd, login as root and start it by typing httpd & . (assuming you have installed as standalone) You should now be able to see it in the list generated by .:: telegra.ph ::. ps. The simplest way to test HTTPd is by Telnet. At the Linux command prompt type .:: slides.com ::.

   linux:~$  telnet 172.16.0.1 80

where 80 is the default port for HTTP. If you have configured "Port" as something different then type that number instead. You should get a response which looks like this [Google Scholar: Functional programming] [Open Source Serverless computing]

   Trying 172.16.0.1...
   Connected to linux.mydomain.
   Escape character is '^]'.

Now if you type in any character and press Enter you should get a response similar to the one shown below. .:: telegra.ph ::. .:: kumu.io ::.
