Setting Up Local Server using http://localhost


I have a need to set up the program TNG - The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding and run it on a local server (not on the Internet) for the purpose of learning the system prior to developing it on an actual website. I was told to use http://localhost on my browser (Mozilla Firefox). I get a message saying "That Works!", but it goes on to say that the contents of the web server have not yet been entered. The instructions for the downloaded files (which I unzipped) said to copy to the web root folder (the folder where the web server is located ?, I guess). But I don't know where it is or how to go about it. Can someone help? I already have MySQL and PHP, which are required to run this program, and I also have Apache installed on my Kubuntu 9.10 system. Thanks, --Jerry

it usually is /var/www/html but it depends on your distro
you can always edit the apache conf file to check which is the default directory
filename is httpd.conf it is usually located in /etc/httpd.conf
you can also try to search for files with command "find"
