I think the documentation gives a reasonably good
basic explanation from an end user perspective:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Documentation/User_Guide/Getting_started#Launching_your_project_as_a_website

The tricker part is if you are running your own server,
you may need to configure the server to specify the virtual hosts to be
used for launched sites. The default setting will work for localhost on
Windows and Linux, but if you are running Mac or have a domain name there
is some configuration needed. This doc gives a good overview of what needs
to be done:
