I think there may be a simple answer to this question, but I've spent a long time looking and haven't found it.
When I type in http://ipaddress I get an Index of page with an apache2-default/ folder. If I open the folder I get the page Apache web server was installed correctly.
What do I need to change to get directly to the apache page?
Is something about the install incorrect?

appreciate any input, thanks :(

Put an index.html file in the htdocs directory. Depending on the version of Linux you are running you will need to look at httpd.conf to find your docroot.

/var/www/htdocs maybe like this perhaps

Add content to index.html and all will be well.
