"If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page."

I made it to this page, now what do I do to list my page?
thanks for any help in advance

Hi,

In case you are interested in knowing the directory where you website is to be setup, it is defined by a directive called DocumentRoot in your httpd.conf file.

Whenever you type

http://127.0.0.1

in the address bar
this is the location for the default page to be displayed whenever you reach the website that you setup on your machine.

You can change the DocumentRoot directive to point to the absolute path of the directory where your local website is present. You might want to read up on VirtualHost at the Apache website.
