Call the start.sh script:
In the end you will see something like shown below. Your web server is running now.
[2010-Nov-19 16:41:38.365920] 6360 - [notice] "Wt: initializing built-in httpd"
[2010-Nov-19 16:41:38.366043] 6360 - [notice] "Reading Wt config file: /etc/wt/wt_config.xml (location = '/home/richel/qtsdk-2010.04/bin/Projects/Website/CppHelloWtQtCreatorUbuntu-build-desktop/CppHelloWtQtCreatorUbuntu')"

Now, start your web browser and go to the following address:
You will see the 'Hello Wt' dynamic website. You just
deployed your Wt application locally. This is just fine for debugging.
If the application is ready to be put on the web,
deploy the Wt application globally.
