I used Jarod's guide as well, but in that guide, there is no section to 
start up httpd (the web server) during boot.  I'm a Linux noob, but I 
found that if you run this command, as root, it'll start up the web 
server right away:

# /etc/init.d/httpd start

After a little looking, I also found that you can make it start during 
boot by issuing this command:

# /sbin/chkconfig httpd on

Once the web server (Apache) is started, you can access the MythWeb by 
pointing your web browser to http://localhost/mythweb/ (if you are 
accessing it from the backend computer.  Otherwise, 
http://your.ip.address.here/mythweb/ ).

I hope that this helps.  I actually learned all this stuff last week by 
accident.  I had no idea that there was a web portion to do all that it 
can do!  I'm glad that someone on this list is putting up some 
screenshots to let others know it's there.
