    Study Notes

    HTTP/HTTPS Services

    • Protocol: HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (HTTP Secure) are used for communication between web browsers and web servers. HTTPS uses encryption to protect data transmitted.
    • Implementation: Apache HTTP Server (httpd) is a common implementation for HTTP/HTTPS services.
    • Configuration:
      • Basic configuration involves setting up a web server to serve files from a specific directory.
      • Virtual hosting allows multiple websites to be served from a single server using different hostnames and configuration files.

    Samba/NFS Services

    • Protocol & Service Concepts:
      • Samba provides file sharing services using SMB/CIFS protocol, enabling Windows systems to access files on Linux/Unix servers.
      • NFS (Network File System) provides file sharing services, allowing Unix-like systems to access files on other Unix-like servers.
    • Services Configuration: Configurations define how services operate, including access permissions, file sharing directories, and network settings.
    • Server Setup: Setting up involves installing and configuring the necessary services on the server. This may include configuring network interfaces and security settings.
    • Utilities: Various utilities are available to support Samba/NFS services, such as management tools and troubleshooting commands.
