In KDE :
Click the "Red Hat" on the bottom left

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

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.
