Not sure why we need all those commands to install Apache and confirm it is running with the defaults. I would just do: yum install httpd systemctl enable httpd systemctl start httpd systemctl status httpd

Actually after looking again you have the right commands but wrong order: yum install httpd systemctl start httpd systemctl enable httpd systemctl status httpd

dnf install -y httpd Using a combination of cat and grep, confirm Apache's listen 80 value. cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | grep -i "listen 80" Start and enable the httpd service by using systemctl and the appropriate subcommands provided below: systemctl start httpd systemctl enable httpd systemctl is-active httpd Enter the following command to configure the firewall to permit HTTP traffic: firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http –permanent firewall-cmd –reload
