Apollo 7 was the first manned mission. Apollos 4 and 6 were unmanned tests of the large Saturn V moon rocket.
Apollo 5 was an unmanned test of the first Apollo Lunar Module on a smaller Saturn IB rocket; it carried no command and service module.
Two unmanned tests of a smaller Saturn launch vehicle, the Saturn I, are sometimes known as Apollo 2 and 3. The name "Apollo 1" was given to the crew of Grissom, White and Chaffee for the flight that they never got to fly because of the launch pad fire that killed them in January 1967.

Was the Apollo 6 mission successful?
While technically successful (all the Apollo missions except 1 and 13 were successful), Apollo 6 was not an actual flight. After Apollo 1, all missions until 7 were hardware test flights and were not officially numbered. Manned flights go from 1 (which was lost to fire) directly to Apollo 7, which saw three men orbit the Earth in the Command Module.
Where was the Apollo 7 launched?
Apollo 7 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Did Apollo 7 land on the moon?
Apollo 7 never landed on the moon. It never left Earth orbit for that matter. Apollo 7's mission was to test the new command module and service module in space. Apollo 7 was the first mission to be manned after the Apollo 1 fire. Apollo 7 didn't even carry a lunar module that would have been needed to land on the moon. And because it didn't have to leave low earth orbit, a smaller and cheaper rocket -- the Saturn IB -- was used to launch Apollo 7 instead of the bigger and better known Saturn V.
