Knoppix on the HD or running from the CD?? If installed on the HD then as root use /etc/init.d/apache start to start the web server you should then be able too on the machine where you are running apache use http://127.0.0.1 and see the Debian apache test page then it is just a matter of changing the default index.html and adding the pages for your site in the /var/www directory. To access from other machines on your network then you use the IP address of the machine that apache is running on in the browser for instance if I want to access my pages then I use http://192.168.0.254 which is the IP of the server on my home network or if I want since I have a name for the machine in my /etc/hosts file I can use http://SleepyTux.
Code:
HappyTux:/home/stephen# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 HappyTux
192.168.0.2 DocTux
192.168.0.3 BashfulTux
192.168.0.254 SleepyTux
192.168.0.10 knoppixtest
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
To have apache started every time you boot the machine use update-rc.d apache defaults as root and it should put the proper links back in place to have the server started or you can achieve the same effect by apt-get --reinstall install apache to reinstall also as root and restore the defaults.
If you are running from the CD then you would need to use sudo in front of the start command I gave above. Then you would need to figure out how to use a different directory for the storage of the files if you wanted them to be on a HD and not in the ramdisk, I do believe I have seen a post on the site here on how to do that you may want to try a search for it if you are going to use this method.

you will also most likely have to configure your router so that computers outside yournetwork can see your websight. this is very simple all you do is go to (in windows or linux) 192.168.1.1 in internet explorer konqueror or whatever then goto. . . .
the applications and gaming tab
under application type "Apache" (no "")
the under start type "80" for this is the standard http port
under end type "80"
protocall select "tcp"
under ip address type the address of your server (ex: 192.168.1.100)
and then you can enable / disable it with the enable checkbox
click save settings at the bottom
NOTE: this is the proceedjure for my WRT54G 802.11G router yours might change
Good Luck,
