Author Issue with starting Apache on RHEL 4 WS

Hello,

I have installed Apache HTTP Server 2.2.3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
WS 4 in the directory /usr/local/apache2. When I execute the command
apachectl -r start, it is not showing any errors/messages. When I enter
http://localhost in browser window, an error message 'Connection was
refused when connecting to localhost' is thrown. I don't find any file
in /usr/local/apache2/logs folder. I have no clue on what's wrong with
the setup. RHEL came with default Apache HTTP server. But I would like
install latest version in /usr/local folder.

Could any one please help me to install the apache.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Kiran

You have checked that you are allowing port 80 connections on
localhost?

All ipv6 disabled including entries in /etc/hosts?

tried to see whats happenning in ps? netstat?

Try running httpd -X in a window then connecting.
