18.4 World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is one of the hottest aspects of the Internet today. Red Hat Linux lets you get in
on the action in two ways – as a Web browser, and as a Web server. Let’s look at both.
18.4.1 World Wide Web Browsers
A variety of Web browsers are available for Linux, including freely distributable browsers such as
Arena, Lynx, and Grail. The most popular commercial browsers are those from Netscape Com-
munications Corporation. And now they’re available with Red Hat Linux 6.0! If you selected the
netscape-communicator or netscape-navigator packages, you’re ready to surf. Enjoy!
18.4.2 World Wide Web Server
If you installed the Apache Web server (from the apache package), then your Web service is already
up and running! Just point your Web browser at http://localhost.
The default page shown is /home/httpd/html/index.html.Youcaneditthisfile (or completely
replace it) to your liking. All the CGI programs, icons, and html pages are stored in /home/httpd,
but this can be changed in the apache configuration files, all of which are stored in /etc/httpd/conf/.
Logs of all httpd activity are kept in /var/log/httpd/. Setting up your Web site is as easy as
adding your own HTML pages and links to the /home/httpd/html/ directory. For more informa-
tion on customizing your Web server we recommend a reference such as HTML: The Definitive Guide
by Chuck Musciano & Bill Kennedy, published by O’Reilly & Associates.
