You have to run it through apache to get CGI scripts, etc. to work.
You'll need to set up your http.conf and srm.conf files. You can
leave the localhost.localdomain (default) host name for your system,
and make sure the ServerName directive in http.conf (?) is set.
If things work right, you should be able to access your pages from
http://localhost or even http://127.0.0.1
It's kind of nice to set a domain name for your system, though. You
can even set up virtual hosts in http.conf so you can have web page
test beds (http://test1.localhost.com and
http://test2.localhost.com) and each would point to its own
directory like /home/test1/public_html ...
