httpd is what your looking for.

its doc root is /var/ww/html
its config is under /etc/httpd

try starting it up by service httpd start. If you want it to start automatically try /sbin/chkconfig httpd on (should start at boot).

could you explain a bit more please, where should i put them commands in
i should of said im really new to all this

[nettro]

no need to explain put my thinking head on and worked it out there's hope yet

yes, for the record. The apache2 RPM package is called "httpd", not "apache2". Similary, the php5 package is simply called "php"

[Renich]

and you should install using yum
[renich@web1 ~]# su -c 'yum install httpd php'

or

[root@web1 log]# yum install httpd php

You should really investigate about yum... It's a great FC tool.

What are repos should I activate pls ?

[Renich]

I would leave the default ones...

[xerxesfedora]

It does not work and says nothing to do with me (FC5 2111). Strange!

They are probably already installed. Do this:

rpm -q httpd

If you get a package back, go to your GNOME desktop and select from the menu the "System->Administration->Server Settings->Services" application and activate your httpd service.
You will need to check it to activate it on the next boot and also "Start" it.

You can also type:
[root@web1 ~]# service httpd start

or

[root@web1 ~]# apachectrl start

and to make it start by default when you restart your pc/server just type:
[root@web1 ~]# chkconfig --levels 345 httpd on

I really recommend you check the man pages or --help for "service" and "chkconfig" so you really understand them

[root@web1 ~]# man service
[root@web1 ~]# man chkconfig

or

[root@web1 ~]# service --help
[root@web1 ~]# chkconfig --help

Thanks, I have solved my problem

REnich is right, though I've found that the graphical representation helps some newbies understand the layout a little better. CLI (command-line interface) commands are definitely quicker and easier once you understand what is happening or if you are in a text console.

Thnks for all how told me to go to the server service.

It was not enabled ! I enabled it and it works!
