Author Newbie: Can't View Default Home Page

Okay, I installed Apache 2.0 on my system - NOT as root. So, I'm
listening on port 8080.
When I start Apache with the apachectl start command, I can see
the httpd service is started by checking the error_log.
However, when I go to my browser and type in
http://www.domain.com:8080, I get the old "The page can not be
displayed" error message.
I'm sure I'm making some simple mistake, but I haven't been able
to find it yet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian

That's rather a vague error. I would suggest you run netstat to see if its
really listening, and then fire up telnet (telnet localhost 8080) and issue
commands manually to see what happens.
