#Start the httpd service, and enable this service to start automatically upon system startup.
#Make certain to configure your firewall to allow access to the httpd service (i.e. the Apache serves HTTP traffic which goes over TCP port '''80''').
#Open a web-browser in your '''host''' machine and enter the following URL: '''vm4.youruserid.org'''. <br>If you setup your Apache webserver correctly, you should be able to view the Apache Test page.#Delete the file '''/etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf''' to get rid of remove the default pagewebpage.#We're Although we will not going to be exploring webservers in depth, we will have you create a simple webpage for testing purposes, then later setup a lot of time to study various Apache options so we'll tell you what you're looking web resource for but you have to find it yourselfwebmail.#The term'''DocumentRoot''' specifies where the Apache webserver will look search for documents to serve.
