What version of Apache did you install ?
Every start can be difficult.
I suggest that you (try) to read the documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/ , also a very a good guide you can find at http://mpcon.org/apacheguide/apache.php .
Indeed phpnuke works fine with Apache, you have to install then PHP and MySql.

The "It works!" page means that Apache is working. You have to move your files into the folder that DocumentRoot is set...
OR
You need to set your DocumentRoot to another folder that contains your web files (*.html, *.php, etc...). Find this in the configuration file (httpd.conf - can be found in the CONF folder under Apache installation folder)
| Code: |
.
.
.
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
### HERE HERE HERE - either put your files in this folder or change to the folder you want - NOTE the forslashes used in the paths####
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache2/htdocs"
.
.
.
#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "c:/Apache2/htdocs">
