I setup my apache server and is running.....now what??

[duceduc]

Hi all. After 16 hours of total time, I finally managed to install, configure and successfully run the apache server 2.0.49 without any errors but now what?

My goal is to host my own website using apache as my server. I have search everywhere on the net trying to find answers to proceed to the next step to no end. What I have come up is that I have to create user account, setup public_html dir, etc. The problem is, I don't know how or where to begin? Most of the how to and quick guides are for non-windows base O/s. Thus, I am clue-less.

If anyone knows some good how to sites, please post. Thank you.

Why didn't you installed XAMPP? 10 minutes installation time --> ready

My goal is to host my own website using apache as my server.

Write some HTML files (your website) and put them in the folder "htdocs". That's all.

I have to create user account, setup public_html dir

That's *nix stuff... Not for Windows.

etc.

Install PHP, Perl and MySQL if you want to use them.
