Executing shell scripts from a web browser in linux

Question

Well I've been assigned this task, and I haven't a clue where to start. I'm running Ubuntu, and so far I've only managed to get apache2 working.

Now it would be very grateful if anyone could guide me. Thanks

You'll want to configure apache to execute CGI scripts.
