User Creation:
Create the New user sapcs and group sapsys in the linux host.
if you want install only content server login sapcs is enough, if you want to install cache server along with content
server, we need to another login as same as sapcs with name of sapcsc
Apache server Installation:
There is inbuilt apache server available in Linux servers. But that is not suitable for sap content server
installation. So download the apache binary file for Linux from the below link.

Copy the zip file to server in dump location. Login as sapcs user and Unzip the a folder. Goto the folder and
execute the following commands
configure --prefix=/usr/users/sapcs/ --enable-mods-shared=most --with-mpm=prefork --with-expat=builtin
To create the make file
