HTML is not a prog lang, it's a a text layout prog https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/HTML.
Use you browser to go to your site; that will render the HTML for you

chrism01 is right.
If you want to view your html content, you can try:

firefox file:/var/www/html

and if you started a http server configured to serve files from /var/www/html, then you can try http://localhost

you can also make aliases for the page and stuff

but that's another story

do i need to type this code??

Code:

firefox file:/var/www/html

some of my friend said that i need to change some setting at

Code:

/etc/httpd/conf
httpd.conf

is that true?

i think your friend is right

in my days at school we've set up a webserver (configured proxy, configured some config files) and it worked

but indeed httpd.conf is probably the best way to start looking (search on the internet or in the config file itself what it does)
the good thing about Linux is, that in the config files is a lot of information

Try opening your browser eg firefox and put

Code:

http://localhost/

into the browser bar.

BTW please tell us which distro you are using.

Exactly; name & version of your Linux; try

Code:

cat /etc/*release*

Do add the result to your profile so we don't have to ask again.
