This works:

I'm guessing by the replies I recieved that its not the best way to do
things, but it does work.

Sorry it took so long to click onto what was being said, guess I'm a bit
slow.

If anyone would like to tell me why it doesn't work this way:

 mkdir /var/www/web
chown kelvin /var/www/web

Open up a browser: http://localhost/web/info.php

I would be interested.

OK - looks like the default document root for your distro is /var/www/html, not /var/www. You can check in the config file, which I *hope* is at /etc/apache/httpd.conf - the line DocumentRoot maps the browser top level directory to the physical location on your machine.

To modify the above commands..

 mkdir /var/www/html/web
 chown kelvin /var/www/html/web

Then http://localhost/web/info.php should be found.
