Hello
Network Configuration
Okay, so let's not forget that before Apache will work, or you can even think about serving WEB pages, it's key to do the network configuration! I won't try to explain the configuration of your personal network because it's really information I should write in a different document.

However, here are some of the basics you'll need to keep in mind:

* Use Network Configurator (usually under Administration in X) to assign IP addresses as needed.
* Use LinuxConf (usually under System in X) to assign proper rights to your account to allow setting up server etc.
* Check to make sure you have a hostname properly assigned by typing:
hostname

Let's assume your network is properly configured and move on!

Basic WEB Serving
It's important to note the directory that you will use extensively (maybe slightly different based on your version):

/var/www/html

This directory contains rather self-explanatory sub-directories such as where you should put the html files like index.html. In fact, you'll find that you spend most of the time in: /var/www/html, /var/www/cgi-bin. You might as well go ahead and open several Xterminal sessions looking at these dirs!

Don't waste time trying to do things right now without using Root login. You should be careful and make back-up copies of files you are about to edit by typing:
