Abstract
This chapter teaches you how to set up a basic Apache instance on your local computer (localhost). To get there, I cover the structure of Apache’s configuration and commonly used Apache directives, which are commands Apache uses to define its configuration. You also learn about local overrides through the .htaccess file.

If you’re unfamiliar with regular expressions (also known as regex), they are patterns that you can use within many UNIX-based systems. They let you find strings that match a set of conditions. There are several resources, such as https://regexr.com and https://regex101.com, that can help you to learn, build, and test regular expressions.
