Configure the Apache2 server

The app requires an apache server in order to run. After you installed apache2 on the machine you have to edit the configuration. run:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

add the following lines to the configuration:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /home/mada/Desktop/swim_simulator/src/www/
		<Directory /home/mada/Desktop/swim_simulator/src/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Require all granted
        </Directory>

After that run:

sudo a2ensite 000-default.conf

than reload apache for the changes to take effect

service apache2 reload

sudo chown www-data:mada src/www/video.mp4
