If you were already visiting "http://localhost" with a web browser and
getting a response, then you had already installed a web server, and
had no need to install Apache.
Note that the name of the default document shown by the web server
isn't necessarily index.html (a point that I could have made first time
around), unless the URL actually reads "http://localhost/index.html" in
the address bar of the web browser.
I'm struggling to figure out what you're trying to say in the final
sentence of that paragraph - unless you mean the results in your web
browser aren't related to the index.html that Apache would be using.
If that's true, that confirms the "web server already present" idea.

I suspect that would do you no good, since it sounds like you now have
two web servers installed.
