nobody's going to call you a dummy - you think that you will just
intrinsically will understand the Linux OS and it ain't that simple. I
assure you that I am still learning a lot some 5 or 6 years after I
started.
Links will show when you see them. This directory has 3 of them...

Easy answer - make soft links not hard links until you know the
difference
ln -s /real/path/of/link /path/of/soft/link
or
ln -s source target
more importantly I think that in your lack of knowledge of the OS
itself, you should defer to the wisdom of those who came before you and
created the systems and try to live within the built-in constraints or
defaults. chmod 777 on your home directory is using a shot gun to kill a
little bird and the ramifications of that could be unfelt for quite some
time.
For example, the default for the apache web services on red hat is to
use the /var/www/html tree and it is logical to put your web documents
there as opposed to somewhere nested within your home directory. In
fact, it would make even more sense to keep the development documents in
your home directory and copy them into the web tree when you want to
'freeze' a version - 'development' in your home directory, 'stable' in
the /var/www/html tree. To test stuff in your home directory, any
browser is capable of accessing file://locahost/~user/web/index.php or
whatever.
I had suggested to you in a previous message that you can get quick
access by putting your web documents into the /var/www/html tree and
creating a symbolic link in your home directory...
ln -s /var/www/html /home/lokrin/webtree (or something similar)
Lastly, I don't think that the apache documentation is installed by
default - you can check - you can always install it or go to
www.apache.org for information.
