ok, now that everything works right and my router is configured correctly, I just need to make an actual website, but where in the flip is this file I need to edit? I tried to edit the httpd.conf file, but that's not it. Can anyone help me?

Once you've created the directory that your site will reside in, you need to edit your virtual hosts to point to this directory. This *usually* is in the httpd.conf file, but on some Linux/Unix servers, I've found that it is sometimes in another file. However, httpd.conf will usually have a comment specifying where this file is, so read through the entire file carefully.

Well, can you find the section that has the virtual hosts? It should have <VirtualHost ...>
Like I said before, this is found in the httpd.conf file, or sometimes in an external file. Here's an example:
<VirtualHost 10.1.2.3>
ServerAdmin webmaster@host.foo.com
DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.foo.com
ServerName host.foo.com
ErrorLog logs/host.foo.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/host.foo.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>

ServerAdmin webmaster@host.foo.com
DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.foo.com
ServerName host.foo.com
ErrorLog logs/host.foo.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/host.foo.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>
