Homepage on a Apache2 server

[Drew, Bill]

 I am unable to find step by step instructions any where on what I need
to do to create a new default homepage for Apache2.
I am not talking about the html itself, I am talking about what I need
to change in other files to change it away from the default testpage.
Where will the new homepage be located and what file name?  I am a
newbie to linux and Apache.  I am unable to find the instructions Ineed
in any of the apache2 documentation.
