Testing apache2 server by deploying sample html page

Lets to to /var/www/html location and create a sample html page,

# nano /var/www/html/sample.html

Start apache2 server:

root@c2c:/var/www/html# sudo service apache2 start

 * Starting Apache httpd web server apache2 
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, 
using 172.17.0.2. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
 *

To test the server is up, lets try doing curl at localhost/sample.html or 172.17.0.2/sample.html (in my case, the IP may vary for your case)

root@c2c:/var/www/html# curl 172.17.0.2/sample.html
<html>

<h1>Hello from Apache2 on Ubuntu!</h1>
