I installed Apache1.3.12 on Redhat6.2 with php4, I cannot get apache to start to read a html file in htdocs called test.html. How do I start apache?

The command to start apache ( assuming default install location )
is /usr/sbin/httpd
If you have started apache with the above (or ./apachectl start 
from 'ServerRoot'/bin) check that httpd is running with ps aux.
If it is and you get the Apache success web page from the server IP 
address, but don't get any other web pages, check that all your 
settings for things like ServerRoot, <Directory ... are correct in 
httpd.conf - this file should be in /etc/httpd/conf/ apparently ... you 
can always restart from the httpd.conf.default file in the apache/conf 
folder if you've messed up the existing .conf file (like I think I did!)
