Peter,

You seem to be in information overload, and confusing what you know,
what you think you know, and what you don't know you don't know. Step
back and look at some of the individual pieces.

First research the difference between "file://" protocol and "http://"
protocol. hint: one is telling the browser to look directly in the file
system (bypassing the server). The other says "ask the server for a
resource."

Second study how the server translates a url request (received on the
network) to the file system location of that resource.

Then look up the different reference schemes (i.e. relative v absolute)
and that may help you see how href="http://localhost/file.type" can be
"abbreviated" to href="/file.type" or even href="file.type" in some
occasions.

copy the following and save it as index.php in the folder indicated by
the DocumentRoot directive of your httpd.conf file. Enter "localhost" in
your browser and it will help you begin to feel your way around.
