To test if it's working OK, go to http://127.0.0.1 and see if you get the default "Welcome to Apache" or whatever the page says. Your web root is /var/www/html. If you don't get the welcome page, check out the conf files /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf and /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. IIRC, I only had to change a line or two in commonhttpd.conf, and it's well commented. The documentation for Apache is really quite good.
