Default Re: Hosting websites? please help!

Hi everyone,

I am still having trouble installing/setting up my Apache system. I have read the majority of the provided tutorials but get lost in between steps, I have watched this video and managed to install Apache 2.2 using the software managment menu.

I cannot find Apache within the applications menu, this is daunting and confusing stuff for me especially since I am not too familiar with Linux based OS, Does the apache software have a GUI like DreamWeaver as an example?

I also keep finding steps like this one:

Go through /etc/sysconfig/apache2:

* check loaded modules (APACHE_MODULES="..."). (Can also be seen with the command "a2enmod -l".)
* add "php5", "perl", or other needed modules to APACHE_MODULES al gusto. Modules can be enabled/disabled in a simple (Debian-compatible way from the command line like this:

a2enmod php5
a2dismod php5

* there is also a command a2enflag, to change APACHE_SERVER_FLAGS
* restart the server ('rcapache2 restart')

I can follow and find the path of /etc/sysconfig/apache2 but when I open the file it opens as a text file and I cannot see the same settings as above or I am not sure what to add, edit or where the a2enmod php5 or/and a2dismod php5 are to be placed.

I hope someone can help me because so far I have failed badly.
