Re: [users@httpd] Cannot install Apache2. (From a beginner at programming and really confused...)

[Joshua Kogut <jmkogut@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, running Apache in WinXP isn't as easy in say the OS of choice,
(any version of *nix), but I have recently devoted myself to
contributing to the WinXP aspect of the documentation so that it
doesn't have to be so hard. To answer you question, First, make sure
your listen port is set to the default of 80, if it isn't, you will
have to add that port to your url. Also, just putting localhost into
your browser won't work, you need to specify that you are connecting to
a web site like so:

http://  [INSERT your ip or just localhost]  :  [Insert the port of your server (normally 89)]

There should be no spaces, I just put those there to make it apparent that there is a colon between the ip and the port.

I was successfully able to install Apache 2.0.54, but

even if I enter 'localhost' into my browser window, the welcome page

won't appear.  On my toolbar, it says that Apache is running so I don't 

have a clue what is wrong. Will somebody please help me??
