Serving HTML Files
The core function of the Apache web server is to serve HTML documents to clients on the network.
By default, the Raspberry Pi Apache web server is configured to only serve files in the /var/www
folder on the system, so you must place your web documents under that folder structure.
However, that folder is owned by the root user account. To be able to save files in that folder, you
must use the sudo command when you copy them. The following Try It Yourself shows how to
publish a simple webpage to test things out.
