Apache2 is working because when I enter http://www.192.168.11.4 in
SeaMonkey or Firefox (from my Windows 7 laptop) I get a message that
says "It Works" followed by more information, one of which says that if
I got this message that means Apache2 is operating correctly.
I downloaded WinSCP to my Windows 7 laptop and was able to copy a file
to the var/www directory in Ubuntu. Since I was able to make contact
with my Linux machine (technically, is it correct to say I am making
contact with Apache2?) I should be able to read this file with my
laptop. I tried various combinations of things which I won't go into
detail here, but it seems the correct file path in SeaMonkey (or
FireFox) should be
http://192.168.11.4/[my username]/var/www/CometFront.jpg
It did not work, even when I left out my user name. Is this the correct
file path?
Also, I may have a problem with the installation. I turned the machine
off and then later turned it on again to make sure I had entered
everything correctly. Now, my web browser cannot even find
http://www.192.168.11.4 and when I launched WinSCP it could not make a
connection and it said the host does not exist. I think what happened is
that when I changed all the settings to get to the point of being able
to write a file to var/www, I had made an incorrect change and it did
not show up until I rebooted the machine. Is this what happened?
