On fedora, your Apache configuration is in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
From the command line, do a:
dig localhost
And see if it comes back to 127.0.0.1. If not, then edit /etc/hosts and add:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Depending on your browser, you might have to clear the cache. Firefox is pretty bad at DNS caching. There is a plugin for Firefox where you can click and clear it.
You can also add VirtualHosts to your httpd.conf. There's examples at the bottom of httpd.conf showing you how. Generally on all Fedora/RHEL/CentOS servers, I usually host everything out of /srv/www, so I have a structure like this:
/srv/www/mysite.com/pubilc_html /srv/www/mystie.com/logs
That keeps everything nice and separated.

This also not working. what is the output of "ls /var/www/html" Null. No output. Where is Drupal installed? You should place it either in the root directory of the web server, or in a sub-directory like /var/www/html/drupal-7.4. Files i moved to /var/www/ nope, has to be in the /var/www/html folder in /etc you'll find a file called http.conf and in there is a line setting the "document root" that's where the drupal stuff has to be unpackedThen tell me which document should i follow properly. In INSTALL.txt also it's not written to move in /var/www/html, it says to move it to path for installation. I think I'm not following correct stuff.

Or in your case http://127.0.0.1/drupal-7.4. no effect. i have tried. do we get this after running the script. If it is working for the IP but not the hostname perhaps you could try flushing your browser cache. In any case, you should preferably add an entry to the hosts file (like mydrupal, for example) and add a virtualhost entry in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and enable it. /etc/apache not present.
