Can Apache on Guest serve HTML files located on Host?

Ubuntu 10.10 Host, Ubuntu 8.04 Guest, Host-only networking.

From my Host I have successfully received Apache's default page via http from the Guest at 192.168.56.101 ... but the files I want Apache to serve from the Guest are located on the Host.

I read and performed the commands shown in "9.10.2 Access to individual physical hard disk partitions" and the tty response said my command was successful, but I don't know how to confirm that the Guest actually has access to the Host partition I just enabled.

Can someone tell me how to confirm that the Guest can see the specified Host partition?

Even better, can someone tell me how to make Apache serve files from the specified Host partition if in fact this Host partition is accessible from the Guest?
