How to install Apache web server in Fedora 14? Can yum be used for installing?

[Roger]

Hi Varuna
To start apache:
In your web browser type http://localhost or type 127.0.0.1

if you see the apache web page then it's working.
if not then in a terminal type sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
it will ask for your password then will run the apache restart.
If successful you will see:
Stopping httpd: [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: [  OK  ]
If unsuccessful it will give an error message which may mean there is a
fault in the config file.
regards
Roger
