weewx puts the index.html and related include files (*.inc) and pictures
into the directory which is defined in weewx.conf by HTML_ROOT=
in the [StdReport] section
If weewx is installed on the same server as apache2, the default
directory would be /var/www/html/weewx where the apache web server
would pick up the index.html when requested by a http(s) call - e.g.
http://URL/weewx or http://IP-address/weewx
(depending on your weewx installation method the paths maybe be
different from the above example - see weewx installation guide)
If your web site is different from the weewx server, some web server
(e.g. apache2) will have to run on this web site and it will also have a
HTML root directory, often /www/... or /public_html/...
If you create a directory under your web server root directory (not the
server root but the web server root !) e.g. ./weewx, you have to copy
the files generated by weewx into the local HTML_ROOT/weewx directory
into the remote web site server's directory e.g. /public_html/weewx
this could than be read by a browser with http://your-web-site-URL/weewx
Usually this is done via FTP. You can use the [[FTP]] section in
[StdReport] of weewx.conf to post/copy/upload (all synonyms here) to
your web site
see below
at each archiving cycle (default 300 seconds = 5 min) the files for e.g.
the Seasons skin will then be sent to your web site
(provided you use the Seasons skin)
the [[FTP]] either uses as source the default HTML_ROOT directly under
[StdReport]] or an extra HTML_ROOT which you define in the [[FTP]] stanza.

In addition to using a web server on the same "machine"
(whether actual or virtual), one can also use secure FTP or
rsync via weewx.conf to have weewx stick the HTML in a
specific directory on an existing web server. I use this
technique ot use one web server and virtual hosts to serve
weewx HTML for five stations.
So, a couple of ways to do what it sounds like what you're
looking for, but as Vice says, it would be good to know more
about what you're looking to do.
