[users@httpd] The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost

[Uzo Madujibeya <uzomadu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have recently installed 2.1.8 with SSL support. I have specifed the
ssl.conf file to access the server.crt and server.key within the
ssl.key folder. When I start apache with

./apachectl start I get the following message in the error logs:







[Thu Oct 27 19:06:12 2005] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]
[Thu Oct 27 19:06:12 2005] [notice] Apache/2.1.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.1.8 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_jk/1.2.14 configured -- resuming normal operations

 
When I try nd access apache from a browser 
http://localhost I get the following error message:

The connection was refuesed when attempting to contact localhost

I have to say I am stumped with this one as I can see nothing in the logs to indicate that there is a problem. Any ideas anyone?
