Web servers are actually pretty easy. In the file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or wherever the httpd.conf file is located on your system), you need to activate (remove the pound or semicolon sign) a couple of lines. ServerName hostname.domainname.com:80 DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" Now, the first line you replace with either your IP address of your server followed by the :80 OR use the domain name of your machine and server; for example: linux1.dell.com:80 The second line tells the location where you will place your .html files. It may already be uncommented. Finally, you need to start the web server service: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start This will be enough to get your web server working, but to access it by domain name, you will also need to be running DNS as a service, AND your registered domain name will need to be pointing to your DNS server to resolve the address. This is probably a step beyond where you are now.
