What distro are you using? Do you want it available to the outside world?

Anyway, the general steps are:
1) install apache
2) build a web page
3) put that page in the document root
4) Tada!

The next step would be to post the specific problems you have with the next step.

- You're probably looking for Apache's document root? - That's /var/www on Ubuntu.

Put some HTML or text file into Apache's document root.

Locate Apache's Home folder and add sample contents
You need to be root to put files to that place. I.e., in a terminal, type,
Quote:
sudo nautilus /var/www
The file manager Nautilus will open that folder, and you can create some file there by right-clicking, "Create document >> Empty File".
A file will be created.

Double-click it and enter some random text. Save, and close the editor.

Rename the file to "test.html" by right-clicking it in Nautilus.

Enable web users to view it
Right-click the file, select "Properties", and a dialog will pop up. There, choose the tab "Permissions", and give "Others" "Read" permissions.

Test the results
Next, point your browser to http://localhost/test.html.

Please, be more specific!

We really cannot know what you mean. - Your messages are too short and not specific enough.

- Thanks for your understanding.

That's not understandable to anyone. Make it absolutely reproducable to the readers, else, forget it.

- Is this the first time you're requesting support?

Thanks, I understand. - Usually, people host their web pages at remote servers, by contracting with an internet service provider. Keyword: "web hosting".

You apparently want the files on your computer being accessed remotely, by other people.

What's the output of
Code:
ifconfig
and how do you connect to the internet - using a DSL provider? - sharing a DSL line with others? - being in a corporate network?

have a look for "Dynamic DNS" so you can point a URl to your system

Huh? if you can see it in a web browser, then it is on the apache server, as your system IS the apache server.
