Ok, I know apache is working.
I put http://localhost/platform into the address bar and up pops a pretty page.
Now all I need to know is "how do I get my work into the folder "html"
Thanks, Kelvyn
Try "chown <your username> /var/www/html" or "chmod a+w /var/www/html". Most people would consider this a security whole but for a personal computer it does not matter very much. chown changes the ownership of a file and chmod changes its permissions. See "man chmod" and "man chown" for details. "ls -lh /var/www" also you some information about the currently set permissions of the file. Again see "man ls" for details.
An a bit better method is using "sudo cp -r /folder/with/webpages /var/www/html". That should always work. The bad thing about this method is that you have to type sudo and your password every time you copy something to /var/www/html. I prefer the security hole from method one over that much work :)
If none of the method described above works just post the output of "ls -lh /var/www" and "/var/www/html".
