    hosting a website

    I am trying to get a similar setup as my school linux machines. In my home directory I have a public_www folder where I can throw my site into and it just works. Anyone know what program is used to do this? Is this what apache does?

    Yes,it's because of apache web server. Does your public_www is a link to someother directory.Normally I used to place /var/www/http or something like that .... You could also configure the path in apache config file /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
