Setting up Apache2 web server

We have already seen this in our LEMP stack setup, and it's very similar. But here, we have to use the required modules for working with WordPress. The following code snippet shows how we can use templating to perform configuration updates in the server:

- name: installing apache2 server
  apt:
    name: "apache2"
    update_cache: yes
    state: present

- name: updating customized templates for apache2 configuration
  template:
    src: "{{ item.src }}"
    dest: "{{ item.dst }}"
    mode: 0644
  
  with_tems:
    - { src: apache2.conf.j2, dst: /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2.conf }
    - { src: 000-default.conf.j2, dst: /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf }
    - { src: default-ssl.conf.j2, dst: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf }

- name: adding custom link for sites-enabled from sites-available
  file:
    src: "{{ item.src }}"
    dest: "{{ item.dest }}"
    state: link
  
  with_items:
    - { src: '/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf', dest: '/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf' }
    - { src: '/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf', dest: '/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf' }

  notify:
    - start apache2
    - startup apache2
