[wellylug] Setting up a simple web server

[Chris Hodgetts]

without having a webserver running there is no way to serve up web pages.


apt-get install apache
should get you a basic configured apache server.... although the files you
have put on your machine, may not be pointing to the default apache
config...

you might need to read up on how to configure apache to learn how to
change the document root location in the config.
