http://localhost/web/website should do it. If you get connection refused, it
means Apache probably isn't running.
"service httpd status" will tell you. If it's not started, you can start it
with "service httpd start" and to make sure it starts at reboot run
"chkconfig httpd on" (the last 2 will have to be run as root).
