Roderick, try to change all this into a one liner that will take the hostname and append it to the end of http.conf. Hint to write out the hostname. Hint to append to end of the file. Hint to run multiple commands with sudo. |

Verify that the Apache Web Server is running first by hitting your server's IP Address. If you do not know your ip address, at the console type,
