If you don't have it already, just: yum install httpd httpd-devel and chkconfig httpd on service httpd start But if you are going to run this for serious production, I'd use RHEL or CentOS instead of fedora so you don't have to do frequent OS version updates with the associated stability risks. *This is only for home network practice. I have been using fedora for years some old redhat also, I have just never learned the basics of setting up a webserver and want to learn how. From the ground up.
