Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Apache2 on Ubuntu24-04 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB Apache2 on Ubuntu24-04 Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"apps4rent-apache2onubuntu2"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying Apache2 on Ubuntu24-04

Once the Apache2 on Ubuntu 24.04 One-Click Droplet is created, you can log into it as root. Make sure to substitute the Droplet’s public IPv4 address:

Bash

ssh root@your_droplet_public_ipv4

The Apache web server will already be running as a service and ready to use. You can access your server’s default page by navigating to http://your_droplet_public_ipv4 in your web browser.

Verification Commands

To verify that the Apache service has been installed and is running correctly, you can run the following commands:

1. To verify the installed version of Apache

Bash

apache2 -v

2. To check the installation path of the Apache configuration directory

Bash

which apache2

3. To check the current operational status of the Apache service

Bash

sudo systemctl status apache2
