UPDATE: Web Server Install
After a lot of reading, I decided that Apache was going to be a lot of overhead for the hardware that I am targeting, given that, I decided to install nginx as my base web server.
nginx installs fine using apt and I was able to get the server up and serving static html right out of box. However, I was also targeting PHP and that is where nginx failed for my hardware. nginx php compatibility requires php-fpm and that requires 64 bit and systemd. This post https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/...d-systemd/ on the antix forum explains a lot. When I attempted to install php-fpm I got the dependency on systemd or systemd-tmpfiles error. Knowing that I was running the 32 bit distro, I quickly moved on from nginx and installed lighttpd.
lighttpd installs fine following basic instructions for any debian system and for php it relies on php-cgi, which has no problem installing on my hardware. I was able to serve up static html as well as php scripts with no problem.
I may revisit Apache and if I do, I'll be sure to post an update here.
