How to Delete the Apache Default Page

In this video, I show you how to delete the Apache default page so you can run your code in your web browser. You will:
1) Look up your IP address
2) Type your IP into the Web browser
3) go to /var/www/html
4) Give yourself access to that directory: /var/www/html

Ma'am you have done it again! After a long hiatus from PHP, I had forgotten how to remove that pesky page. You are truly a lifesaver. Thank you once again for the quality content.

It worked for me! Thank you so much for this clear video!

After you delete the index.html file, how do you upload your own file to be used as a homepage? (aka the hello world page)

Candy, help! I'm running my index.php file on my server but none of my CSS stylesheets, or even Boostrap's CDN is kicking in. Even though the internal styles show up/display. What could I be doing wrong?

Hi, Candy. Nice job with this video.
Worth mentioning depending the installed Linux distribution/version, `ifconfig` is sometimes replaced by the `ip` tool. If this is the case, you can obtain the hosts address using:

ip addr show

Hi Candy. How were you able to get that extra black space on your screen in the virtual box around the 8:15 mark?

[tinkerspider]

Nice one, picked up a few commands i didn't know - on to the manpages!

[MoTown]

To find your IP in Linux open a terminal or console window; type ifconfig and press enter key. The screen will display your IP, usually eth0 if internal NIC with RJ45 cable or wlan0 if using wifi. The browser thing is okay but takes too much time. Nice video.
