After you have installed HTTPd, login as root and start it by typing httpd & . (assuming you have installed as standalone) You should now be able to see it in the list generated by ps. The simplest way to test HTTPd is by Telnet. At the Linux command prompt type
linux:~$ telnet 172.16.0.1 80
where 80 is the default port for HTTP. If you have configured "Port" as something different then type that number instead. You should get a response which looks like this
Trying 172.16.0.1...
Connected to linux.mydomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
Now if you type in any character and press Enter you should get a response similar to the one shown below.
