Fedora includes apache.  If you don't have it already, just:
yum install httpd httpd-devel
and
chkconfig httpd on
service httpd start

But if you are going to run this for serious production, I'd use RHEL or

CentOS instead of fedora so you don't have to do frequent OS version 
updates with the associated stability risks.


*This is only for home network practice. I have been using fedora for
years some old redhat also, I have just never learned the basics of
setting up a webserver and want to learn how. From the ground up.
