Questions Installing apache web server in linux mint

[eyepea]

මට linux mint computer එකක apache web server install කිරීමට අවශ්‍යයි.
local use සඳහා පමණි.
http port සහ https port 80 සහ 443 වෙනස් කරනවා..
http port එක 81 ට වෙනස් කළා කියමු.
http://localhost:81/........ කියලා web server එක access කරනවා..
Firewall එක තියන නිසා, web server එකට පිටින් connect වෙන්න බෑ නේද?

මට webserver setup, network security ගැන වැඩි අදහසක් නෑ .
මට ඕනේ server side scripting ටිකක් ඉගෙනගන්න.

ස්තුතියි!

-----------------------------------

I want to install apache web server in a computer running linux mint. For local use only.
I will change the http port and the https port to something different from 80 and 443 to avoid any confusion.
Lets say I changed the http port to 81.
I will access the web server using http://localhost:81/........
Since the firewall is there, can I assume that I am safe from any possible external connection to this web server?

I have little idea about setting up web servers and network security. I just want to learn some server side scripting

Thanks!

read about wsgi
apache will handle request coming from port 80, 443 and redirect it to proper applications.
No need to worry about ports
you just have to learn how to config apache and apache will run servers automatically.
I have done it for Django and my friend did config it for ROR
It's basically the same. Nothing too technical unless you are hosting online.
Config with SSL took some time

Since the firewall is there, can I assume that I am safe from any possible external connection to this web server?
Network security is not decided solely on firewall restrictions. Your html, javascripts, databases, backend can be hacked even with a proper firewall installed. Stop worrying about it for now. If you want to be worried then worry about SSH settings.
