# By default, CentOS 7 built-in firewall is set to block Apache traffic. To allow web traffic on Apache, update the system firewall rules to permit inbound packets on HTTP and HTTPS using the commands below.
$ firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=http
$ firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=https
$ firewall-cmd --reload

# Test Apache HTTP Server on CentOS 7
$ watch curl http://SERVER_DOMAIN_NAME_OR_IP
