I was under the impression that Apache2 was installed as part of the weewx installation already. I am concerned that I will break something if I just start installing things without understanding them fully if they are already installed. So if I install Apache2, PHP7.x and the PHP libraries as you suggest, is there a chance I will break what is already working (in the case of Apache2 if it is already installed)?
Is there a good tutorial somewhere for these installations? There seem to be a number of versions of PHP which is also confusing.
