As far as I know, port 80 is the default in httpd.conf, so unless he changed it at some point, I don't think the port number is the issue. I'm sorry, I don't have more to tell you. I'm beginning Apache myself, and I've exhausted about all I know.

Whatever "DocumentRoot" says, that is where to put your files. You then access them like http://localhost/hello.htm l.
