What you want to do requires that you understand the basics of
Apache's configuration mechanism. You should really start with that.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/getting-started.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/bind.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/configuring.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/urlmapping.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/vhosts/
I don't have 2.4, 2.2 here on wheezy.
Looking in the docs/2.2/envvars reference and trying some of the commands
I find I apparently must specify the port # somehow. apache2ctl cannot
connect on port 80. It apparently uses /etc/alternatives/www-browser,
which is a softlink to /usrt/bin/lynx, and guess what?
lynx support at lynx.isc.org has been deleted. And it won't work without
talking to isc.org first. Even after being re-installed.
Lynx works just fine. I expect your configuration file simply has some
references to obsolete remote locations.
Does this work?
$ WWW_HOME="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEBKAC"; lynx
or this?
$
WWW_HOME="file://localhost/REPLACE-ME-WITH-A-PATH-TO-SOME-LOCAL-HTML-DOC.html"
lynx
And does this...
$ grep '^STARTFILE:' /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg
...confirm that you have something obsolete like
STARTFILE:http://lynx.isc.org/
in your lynx.cfg ?
Then fix that broken reference. Edit /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg, replacing
that STARTFILE url with whatever you like.
FWIW, I think
STARTFILE:file://localhost/~/
makes a sensible default.
Or, if for some incomprehensible reason you think a remote website is
an appropriate default startfile, you could use
STARTFILE:http://lynx.invisible-island.net/
instead.
While you're at it, you might want to cast your eye over any other
lines returned by this...
$ grep '^[A-Z_]*:[[:blank:]]*https\?://' /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg
...and see if you wouldn't rather change them to something more
up-to-date, more reliable, or more appropriate for your installation.
So A: file a bug against lynx, best to remove it as its apparently been
EOL'd by isc.org
Huh? You would remove a program simply because isc.org removes a
couple web pages?
Development of lynx continues unabated:

Good luck with your project.
