1. I'd recommend having people that are experienced, and trained in this area setup apache for you. Because of the security issues these days - people that do it for a living know what to change, and how to secure the server.

   Take a look at: http://dependablehost.net/server_support…

   I use them, and they're excellent. They've been able to answer every question I've thrown at them! To signup, you have to email them - links are at the bottom of the pages.

2. go to http://www.apache.org and they should have documents on how to configure httpd.

   your configuration file should be in

   /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

   Hope that helps

3. Make sure you have apache installed by typing 'rpm -qa | grep apache'. If you get nothing in reply, you'll have to install that first. If it is installed, make sure you have a server name defined (look in /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf for ServerName). To start it, issue '/etc/init.d/httpd start'
