A:
By default Apache points to /var/www on ubuntu, it would required extra configuration to get it to point at your home directory. Try moving your html file there, then you should be able to access it through your browser at http://localhost/first.html
To host the page for public viewing you'd need to configure your pc's & router's firewalls correctly to allow port 80.
