Can't access localhost.

| I set up a Debian partition for the purpose of using sql-ledger. Now I
am at the point where I have to access localhost from a browser on the
desktop and access is denied. This is a brand new install with apache2
instead of the older versions I am familiar with.
My background is in Slackware.

Can you ping localhost? If so, what interface(s) is your server
configured to listen to?

the mechaniam on Slack is entirely different. Can you suggest what I
need to do to make Debian start httpd automatically?[vbcol=seagreen]

How did you install apache? If you just installed the Debian package, it
will start on boot by default. You can start it manually by running:
/etc/init.d/apache2 start

Post the output from:
netstat -plunt

OK I used the line you prescribed above to boot apache. Now all I have
to do is to automate that process.
That partition is pure Debian downloads. I downloaded the small Debian
iso image and burned a cdr. then I booted that and after a bit of
handwavng let at-get download almost everything. Apache was included.
But for some reason it won't start witout coaxing.
Bootom line, thanks to your help I got Apache going which after some
more mubmling of incantations meant I could get sql-ledger going. So I
have a lot of work ahead of me building a chart of accounts etc. But
the road forward looks promising.
The rival to this package was web-ERP. I had a terrible password hangup
on that application and Debian +sql-ledger got there first.
Mission accomplished, initially at least. Thanks to all who replied.

It should be automated when you install apache.
What is the output of:
find /etc/rc* | grep apache
and what are the contents of /etc/default/apache2 ?

It should be automated when you install apache.
What is the output of:
find /etc/rc* | grep apache
etc/rc3.d/S91apache2
and what are the contents of /etc/default/apache2 ?
# 0 = start on boot; 1 = don't start on boot
NO_START=0
So I will reboot that partition, see if apache starts, and report back.

I did and it did. Thanks for helping me when I was stumbling around.
Debian is soooo different!
