This wizard will simply let you specify
if your web server will be disabled, visible from the local
network, from the external network (generally the Internet) or
from both. Check the appropriate boxes as shown in Figure 9.6, “Defining the Web Server
Visibility”.

If your server network parameters are provided by DHCP the web server might not function properly if set to be visible from the Internet. |
Then you can enable
the feature which gives users the option to maintain their own
web sites, available from the
http://server_name/~user/
URL. The directory
where they store their sites (public_html
, inside the user's home directory, by default) can also be changed if this option is
checked.
Finally you can specify
the directory where the files to be served by the server will be
stored, known as the Document Root. To publish
your web site, simply put the files in the chosen directory. You
can connect to your web site as soon as the wizard is finished
through the http://localhost/
URL.
