1. set up your apache server. Don't care about external access
2. test your installation. Just point your brwoser to http://localhost (assuming you are on the machine running apache) or http://<internal_ip_of_apache_server>
3. If everything is fine, do happy dance ;)
4. Ask yourself if you REALLY want to open access to that server from outside.
5. Think again :)
6. If yes, go to www.dyndns.org, register for an account and download an appropriate client for your environment (depends on OS, your needs, etc. descriptions tend to be good, imho)
7. from now, proceedings depend on your firewall (if you have no firewall, go back to 4.)
8. Basically, install the client according to docs, open port 80 on the firewall for inbound traffic and test.
