If you are using Fedora, make sure you have apache installed (the package name is probably httpd rather than apache). Make sure your firewall is allowing port 80 through (have a look at Security Settings).

Copy some html files to /var/www/html (generally it will expect to find index.htm or index.html there)

Point your browser there (http://localhost)

Done

Lots of people have done this and documented what they did on web pages. It doesn't take a wizard to search:
