title: Amazon EC2 How Do I host My Own Content? Stuck on having a working test apache page
body: <p>I am using this guide:
  <a href="http://codingthis.com/platforms/linux/how-to-host-simple-content-with-amazon-elastic-cloud-computing-ec2/" rel="nofollow">http://codingthis.com/platforms/linux/how-to-host-simple-content-with-amazon-elastic-cloud-computing-ec2/</a></p>
  
  <p>I have a folder named public_html in my /home/ec2-user directory with a test.html file.</p>
  
  <p>What I have done so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo yum -y install httpd php
  sudo chkconfig httpd on
  chmod 755 /home/ec2-user  (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS DOES)
  sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    (changed DocumentRoot to DocumentRoot /home/ec2-user/public_html)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>TLDR: How do I make it load my content (my html file) instead of the apache test page</p>
  
  <p>EXTRA:</p>
  
  <p>I have a security group enabled for my instance with rules:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ICMP Allow ALL
  TCP Allow ALL
  UDP Allow ALL
  TCP port 80 (Http) 
  </code></pre>
