Offline Uses For the purposes of this paper the installation and configuration will be for a personal use of checking your websites or script. So there won’t be consideration for security which would be needed if you were to activate your server for users outside the home or small business.(Heng, 2014) Installing Apache 2 You will need a downloadable Apache 2 file from whichever source that you desire. Once you download the file search for and click “Other Files > binaries > win32” which will have all versions of Apache listed. (Heng, 2014) Whichever version of Apache that you choose, search for the corresponding Apache file that matches that version. (i.e. Apache version 2.5.45 choose the filename “apache-2.5.45-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi”. Once you choose the right file, save it to your hard drive. (Heng, 2014) Running the Installer Of course now that you have the file in your computer, you will want to install it. To do this you will simply double-click the Apache version file that you just saved to run the installer. There will be a step-by-step process to walk you thru the installation. When you come to a dialog box with the words, “Server Information”, type “Donna’s Baby”, or the name you want to give your server, to represent the Network Domain, also; enter the server name and email address when prompted, the installer will make a default Apache config. file with that information. (Heng, 2014) Now, when you get the Setup Type screen choose the Typical option and hit next, and allow the installer to choose the default settings on the next screen. (Heng, 2014) And guess what time it is, it is time to hit the “Install” button. As long as you don’t touch anything the installer will finish the installation of your ne... ... middle of paper ... ...ed in them for the SSL Certificate and the SSL Certificate Key to your new files. (Ubuntu) Now that we have come to the end what have I said throughout this paper about saving your changes? You will need to restart the service to save your changes with this command: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart. Once Apache restarts you may need to enter a passcode all depending on who you obtained your certificate through. To see your secure server pages simply type in the browser address bar: https://hostname/url/. (Ubuntu) So we now come to the end of this paper, hallelujah. I have to admit I learned quite a bit about Apache, but not only Apache but Linux, Windows, and before this paper I didn’t know the word Ubuntu or that it had anything to do with the Web. I glad that I chose this for my paper and I’m sure that the information will be put to use in the near future.
e)Mozilla/5.0 intiates the message the server need the browser version is need in http message because the sever sends prepare the formats to send to different browsers depending on request.
An example of a highly important protocol which will be utilized at application level, is HTTP or hypertext transfer protocol. HTTP is the protocol used within web browsers and the entire internet to send and receive specific web page data. HTTP is a controlling protocol, as it determines how documents should be sent, and what the browser should do in response to commands. When accessing a web page, a HTTP command is sent to the pages web server, so that the server may send that specific page’s data to the user. PCO’s Learning Centre will be using the hypertext transfer protocol on a regular basis. In order for students to access web pages, the HTTP must exist to ensure speedy and accurate navigation, especially in a learning
The internet works on the basis that some computers act as ‘servers’. These computers offer services for other computers that are accessing or requesting information, these are known as ‘clients’. The term “server” may refer to both the hardware and software (the entire computer system) or just the software that performs the service. For example, Web server may refer to the Web server software in a computer that also runs other applications or it may refer to the computer system dedicated only to the Web server applicant. For example, a large Web site could have several dedicated Web servers or one very large Web server.

This is the information age. There are financial and corporate information, research and analysis, trends have lead the trend and military intelligence. Information classified as confidential, sensitive and critical. There are gleaning information extraction and automated tools. There are management solutions, such as content management, knowledge management and document management, information management collected for. There are different mechanisms for storing information storage. Finally, information security, there are tools and techniques. In this paper, three important types of security information we need to discuss, such as security information from hackers, during transit to ensure that information and the protection of information stored in the system can be lost or stolen. Finally, a brief about wireless security has been described here. The Internet has become the information superhighway. Evolving Internet and related technologies have allowed companies to communicate in new ways with all types of people and strategic organization. Over the years, there have been increased after the distinctive features of Internet connection. As needs change, the more powerful the service of humanity encountered, faster connections, and what can be done in the need for more flexibility. Initially, the service, such as a simple POP3-based email and Web access is the extent of an Internet connection. Today, we have a site-to-site virtual private network (VPN), clients and home users VPN, streaming media, Web-based training, wonderful Internet applications, e-commerce, and business-to-business extranet. Therefore, the development of the Internet to meet the needs of a variety of advanced human society. On the home front, fr...

PHP is a scripting language that executes scripts on a server, which allows it to create dynamic web pages. To create a dynamic web page, PHP interprets the code on the web server with a Hypertext Preprocessor Module. As an open source language, PHP is functional across multiple platforms. According to Free Servers, it can be run on Linux, Mac OS, Microsoft Windows and many variations of the Unix system. (Free Servers. “What is PHP”). A Hypertext Preprocessor Module is the PHP’s CGI. A Common Gateway Interface is the standard method that Web Servers utilise when passing a Web User Request to an application program and returning data. As it was developed for the web, it has the capability to be embedded into HTML code.
The student’s information is at risk each time a file from a message, hyperlink or image is accessed. To address such a challenge the instructor needs to make sure that all communication is on a secured hypertext transport protocol site. This authentication is provided by the institution that the educator is affiliated with and it ensures that communication between the student and the instructor is on a secured network regardless of the browsers and servers used.
Digital certificates are certificates that are guaranteed to be authentic by a Certificate Authority. The certificate authority digitally ‘signs’ the data stating that it is authentic. An alternative to this is Public Key Infrastructure, or PKI. PKI uses private keys to certify the data is correct and authentic. PKI is a fast growing, although time consuming, method of securely transmitting data.
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW, which was about 20 years after the first connection was established over what today is called the Internet. Back in 1989, Berners-Lee was a software engineer at CERN, the largest particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland (WWW Foundation 1). Berners-Lee had proposed a set of technologies that could make the Internet available and useful to many people. However, at first, Berners-Lee’s proposal was not accepted, but he would not go down without a fight. He persevered and by October of 1990, he had laid out the three essential technologies that are still the foundation of today’s Web: 1. HTML: Hypertext Markup Language. It is the publishing format for the Web. It has the ability to format documents and link to other documents and resources. 2. URI: Uniform Resource Identifier. It is an address that is special to each resource on the Web. 3. HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It allows for the retrieval of linked resources across the Web (1). After...
