• Apache is free and open-source cross-platform web server software.

• Disclaimer: Much of what's below may be in error. It's just my best guess at the moment.

• browser with /localhost/server-status ... reports:
  Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)

• When Apache is successfully installed, entering "localhost" into your web browser URL will bring up the Apache welcome screen. This is a index.html file that is located in /var/www/html
  Further, entering localhost/index2.html will likewise display that file if it exists in the /var/www/html folder
  Similarly, if you have subdirectories in the /var/www/html folder, with .html files in them, you can display/execute them by entering their pathname into your browser, eg. localhost/dir01/file01.html
  Note: Writing or editing files in /var/www/html requires sudo privilege
• Apache was installed on my Dell tower along with mySQL, apparently because mySQL needs a webserver for accessing the DB.
  ----------------------
