You do not need to do much here
I did not fully grep where you are at on the learning curve.
However, if you are looking to publish a simple beginner web site, just get Apache up and running, find the root document of Apache, and put your index.php, or index.html in it, then open your web browser to http : // localhost / index. php and your site is up and running.
In Red Hat Linux, root document is located at /var/www/html
in Slackware it is at /var/www/, the same for BSD family
In OpenSuSE its at /srv/www/htdocs
I did not work with Solaris 10 lately. But you can look for "httpd.conf-example" to locate the root document.
You can build folders in a tree structure from that root document. Every document will show on the web browser with the correct permissions and links.
If you are a web master, and using PHP, Python, Perl CGI, or just Apache pre-compiled modules, you probably won't need to know about Apache more than how to install and uninstall a module, how to stop it and start it, and how to configure httpd.conf. You'll spend 99% of your time maintaining the content.
Apache is faithful, and will work in the background without complaints (with the correct settings) and you'll take it for granted that it is working fine.
Good luck
