you havn't told that what is your distribution.. mostly it is installed during installation.. if redhat then do
service httpd status
it it says it is not running then try to start it.. using service httpd start
if it is in your system it will start.
It is not then consider a rpm of apache that will make it easier to install.
If it is there and running then you can put your files ie. html, php in /var/www/html/ and open in your browser .. like..
http://localhost/filename.htm or on lan http://ip addredss/file.htm, currently it is confugered for only one account but you can make it to do several sites.. called virtual sites. do to so i suggest you to read some apache documantaion.. that will also help u to do more..
make sure you have also installed php support.. to run php

I am running PCQ Linux 2004 :) I have many php scripts running already..it works fine for loopback interface.. http://127.0.0.1/file.php works fine...I want to know if i need to make any changes..files have to access over a LAN?
Because I have to demonstrate this project of mine over a LAN ...how do i simulate it at home(on a single PC)? And what changes do I need to make when I want it to run over a LAN
I am running apache 2.0.4
Thanks in advance!

look your httpd.conf and find the following entries..
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /www/example1
ServerName www.example1.com
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
these are usually commented out , uncomment them and u have ur virtual website running. You also need to set your internal DNS to resolve that website to that ip. that is another story.. u have to add a zone. i suggest you to look a basic tutorial so that u can get clear idea how it works..

Hi friend,
Do this steps and u should be okay and up going.
1. Open httpd.conf file in "/etc/httpd/conf" directory.
2. Look for a line like this:
"Servername new.host.domain: 80"
change it to Servername <ur server's ip address> : <port>
i.e.====> Servername 192.168.1.1:80
If in front of it has a # symbol delete it.
3. Save and exit.
4. Type service httpd start
5. Bingo, u r done. Open any web browser and type in ur webserver's ip address.
I assume u use Redhat 9.
Coz (service httpd start) only works in Red hat/Fedora
