Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

The Apache web server is a necessary component to serve web content. Install it by running the following command:

After the installation process completes, start the Apache service, then enable it to start at boot time.

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 3: Install PHP and its Dependencies

Download the latest version of DirectoryLister from the official website, then use the following command to extract the archive:

unzip DirectoryLister-2.9.2.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 5: Configure Apache for DirectoryLister

As you successfully installed directorylister in /var/www/html/, you can now configure apache to serve it. Create a configuration file for DirectoryLister:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/directorylister.conf

Add the following content to the file:

Alias /files /var/www/html/DirectoryLister/public
<Directory /var/www/html/DirectoryLister/public>
   Require all granted
   AllowOverride None
   Options None
   DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

Then save and exit from the file.

Step 6: Restart Apache

After finishing the configuration, apply the changes by restarting the Apache service:
