How to install Apache on VPS [Newbie]

Hi!
I just bought a VPS and I want to install Apache on it.
Can you tell me how to do it ?
I moved unpacked apache httdp folder to /usr/local/etc/

 

Depends on the operating system that you have picked. Can you let us know what you are running?

 

Yep, it's debian.
Well I google a bit more and found some info on apache website
I just stuck here:

 

It's asking you to edit (vi is an editor) the main httpd configuration file. Do you know where Apache was installed to?

 

install it via apt-get.....

 

Yes I know. For now the biggest problem is what I have to change in httpd.conf ?

 

Have you got it installed yet though? From your first post, you said you have unpacked it. Did you go through and install it though? If not, takes FavouritesBlog's advise, and install using apt-get.

 

yes I installed it, and now I don't know how to configure it

When I'm trying to use command

Then I see error:

 

Configuration depends on what you are trying to have it do. Do you just want to server html pages from a folder? Does it start up right now without errors?

 

Yes , I want to host my sites there. Well now I see only "It works!" Info when I type http{my server ip} into browser.

BTW later I want install cURL and IonCube Loader there ...

 

You can install curl using apt-get too and the ioncube installation is not hard to do just make sure that you already have PHP in your server.

Check this quick guide and good luck
