Hi all i just installed fedora core 4 and want to run a webserver. could any one tell me how to find and run this webserver in fedora?Thanks
 
service httpd start

Take a look if https is starting at boot time:

chkconfig --list httpd

Thank u for u reply. could u tell me where should type service httpd start. I am very new to fedora.Thanks
 
in a shell/console/command prompt/terminal

In KDE :
Click the "Red Hat" on the bottom left
Click "System Tools"
Click "Terminal"

You'll need to su to root .

open a terminal as root and issue it wherever you are, service should be in the PATH environment variable.

Thanks man that worked liek the charm. yes when installed fedora i selected server option and now i see the welcome page of apache. how to get to folder where i can place my files?Thanks
 
Your default web root in Fedora should be /var/www/html. If not, check your config /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to see where DocumentRoot is pointing to.
