Hey guys, wake up! Where do you think Mohan got the HTTP 404 from??? There are two possibilities: 1. It was the apache httpd server that actually served the HTTP 404 in which case Mohan did not put the file in the right place. Check the DocumentRoot and make sure the file is in that directory 2. The apache httpd did not serve the HTTP 404. That means that there is another http server running on the host and apache probably failed to start because it tried to bind a port already bound. IN any event the Apache logs will give you the answer. When you have a problem, that's always the first thing you should check. Verify the values of ServerRoot and TransferLog/CustomLog/ErrorLog. That will tell you where the log files are located. The ErrorLog will tell you whether apache was started or failed to start. Supposing it was Apache that returned the HTTP 404, it will also tell you where it tried to find the file.

If the apache server is running on the same machine you are trying to access it from, using localhost should do the trick. Have you confirmed that the httpd process is running? Some system information would be helpful as well.
