Can you post these "syntax errors"?

Subject: [users@httpd] Localhost cannot be accessed when Apache is started 

I recently tried starting up my Apache server, as part of a course that I am taking to learn web development.

The command went through as it should, after asking for my password. But when I opened my web browser at the http://localhost webpage, nothing happened. I was given an error page saying that the page cannot be opened because the web browser cannot connect to the server.

I did some preliminary checking and found a command to troubleshoot Apache files. What I got back had to do with syntax errors in multiple files. Though I did some research, I have found nothing about this particular problem. Also I could not find a way to reinstall Apache in such a way that the system would be untouched, but the bad files would be replaced by uncorrupted ones.

I humbly submit this problem to anyone for their consideration. Perhaps someone else has had a similar problem; or someone knows a way to bypass the issue.

Thank you very much,
