| I'm completely new to Apache and servers in general and am trying to
learn. I've installed Apache 2.0.53 and it installed fine and is up
and running. I am using it on a personal workstation and used
localhost and localdomain as my server information. I installed it on
port 80, but the configuration file has Listen set to 8080. When I try
and go to http://localhost/ I get a "Page connot be displayed" error.
Can anyone help with this. The error log looks fine.

| I fixed the problem. I had installed Apache originally on 8080 for one
user and then uninstalled it. When I reinstalled on 80 the
installation program did not rewrite the config file. I uninstalled
again and then deleted the entire Apache Group folder and reinstalled
and it worked! don't know why the installation did not rewrite the
config file though.

It never does. This allows for easy and safe upgrading.

Although this is late advice in your case, I would like to point out that
editing the configuration files by hand is considerably easier and faster
than reinstalling Apache.

| I know that now, but as I stated, I am completely new to this, so
reinstalling was easier in my case. The best way to learn is through
experiencing problems and figuring out how to fix them. If everything
always went smoothly, you would never learn anything :-)
