SAVE ME FROM HELL.... Apache server

[ray]

Greetings..

Well here is my ashaming truth: i don't in hell know how to use linux properly. I try but.. ok
Someone asked me to start an apache session under linux (red hat) and host some pages. the server is connected through a LAN to our router. I can 't simply get the whole thing started!! argh! I tried the FAQ and stuff on the official sites, but they all assume you know how to put the machine in action!! I DONT EVEN KNOW THIS.. (ok ok I suck alot)
So please help me on this one.. the boss is already taping his foot...

Thank you anyway!

Using RedHat Apache webserver should start up when you boot. This all depends on the type of install that was performed as well.
edit the index.html in: /home/httpd/html
This is also where you create web space for users ex: /home/httpd/html/ray
In the ray dir. you create an html document.
Name the first page in each dir index.html or index.htm.
Now your web address on the network will be:
http://nameofserver/ray/index.html
I hope some of this helps.
