如何在AWS EC2 Cloud9上运行Apache

Question

I migrated from Cloud9 to AWS Cloud9. I'm unable to see the preview of the Apache server. The server is running :

ubuntu@ip-172-31-22-83:~/environment$ sudo service apache2 status
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
  Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.d

Apr 11 09:17:31 ip-172-31-22-83 systemd[1]: Started The Apache HTTP Server.

But when I try previewing the server, nothing works:

• localhost/

Client Closed Request 499 - AWSCloud9VFSService VFS connection does not exist

• localhost:8080

Cannot GET /vfs/80990xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/previewlocalhost:8080

I already tryed this :

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/app-preview.html#app-preview-app-reload

But it's a fake server and don't load the root file index.php . It displays list of files in folders and do not consider .htaccess files.

I also try changing port for 8080 according to Configure apache to listen on port other than 80

Apache is natively running on AWS Cloud9. To make Apache working with the Cloud9 IDE preview system, you need to :

• Make Apache running on port 8080, 8081 or 8082.
• Configure Apache Root directory to ~/environment
• Enable .htaccess
