Yeah, first try Fedora docs at docs.fedoraproject.org. They are updated regularly. If you have a problem, then ask about it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/getting-started-with-apache-http-server/ Avoid off-site answers. Oftentimes it's just dev2dev answers, with some dev posting what worked for him when following someone else's article.
