Move to the directory where your site will resides:
[[Category:Web Server]]
 
{{Cmd|#cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs}}
 
And create an index.html file to test if everything is ok:
 
{{Cmd|#vi index.html
 
<html>
<head>
<title> My first page </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>It works!</h1>
</body>
</html>
 
That done, let us start apache2 web server:
 
{{Cmd|rc-service apache2 start}}
 
Now you can create your html site and host in this directory.
