Try reading the page that comes up. It tells you how to fix it, and where.

From that page:


If you have upgraded from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and earlier, 
then you are seeing this page because the default 
DocumentRoot set in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf has changed. 
Any subdirectories which existed under /home/httpd 
should now be moved to /var/www. Alternatively, 
the contents of /var/www can be moved to /home/httpd, 
and the configuration file can be
updated accordingly. 

Or, if you're really just too lazy to Read The Fine Manual ("RTFM"), 

cd /var
mv www www-old
ln -s /home/httpd /var/www

However, the proper approach is to read and edit the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 

If you're going to be running a webserver, you will assuredly need to become
familiar with it.

Ahem, excuse me, I just re-read your complaint. 

It would appear that the new Apache install replaced your website's
index.html with the stock one. I hope you have a backup. Possibly you could
copy that backup to index.html which will replace that page.
