I'm an extreme newbie and I've just installed Linux 8 and I have Apache server running. I see the initial test page and I can't find it via the terminal. where is that file located?? I want to publish website on the Linux box but I don't know where the files hould go.
By default your webfiles would be in /var/www/html . If you create index.html in /var/www/html you should see that page pop up instead of the initial test page assuming your httpd.conf file is setup correctly.
A lot of people (my self included) change DocumentRoot in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to a location on "/home" Usually if your system is partitioned you will have more free space on home to play with.
I think that page is just there to let you know that Apache is working when you first install it. You shouldn't have to edit it at all. If you put an index.html file in /var/www/html then go to http://your.ip.address.here you will see your index.html page.
