Publishing HTML Documents as Web Pages

This section describes how to publish a HTML document on the Apache HTTP server.

With Apache server running, I am ready to publish HTML documents as static Web pages. Here is a simple HTML document, hello.html, created with a text editor:

<html>
<body>
Hello world!
</body>
</html>

To publish this HTML document as a Web page, I copied it to the Apache document directory \apache\htdocs:

herong> copy hello.html \apache\htdocs

Then I viewed the page at: http://localhost/hello.html, and got the page content displayed correctly.

Hello world!
