Im new to linux, and apache... however, I want to be knowledgeable. Could someone point me to a BEGGINERS tutorial, everything I find is for people who already know... stuff about it. I just want to know, how do I make it accessable from the web, and how/where do I put the html files for it... any help is very appreciated! And thank you for taking the time to help educate newbies, like myself.

This article explains the installation and configuration of the Apache Web Server which is probably the most popular Web Server. This entire article has been written with a typical home user in mind. Hence all the details about security and such related aspects that would come into the picture if it were to be used as a full fledged Web Server which is to be connected to the Internet permanently, are not dealt in great detail in this article. http://www.geocities.com/tipsforlinux/articles/029-1.html

If you're connecting to the internet from a router then you'll have to forward your ports. My ISP won't allow port 80. You should check up with that too. So i basically forwarded a different port, a higher port. If ya got a firewall you should configure that as well.

From there you would go to your httpd.conf, which is most likely located in /etc/apache, and configure that. Change up the default port apache listens to the port you forwarded on your router if you have one.

i spent less time looking at docs and more time in the httpd.conf. httpd.conf specifies alot of things in the file itself such as where your default web page is at...etc..

good luck
