I've been playing around with apache on linux trying to get it to serve some .html but every time I try to go to http://localhost/  I get a timeout error. It turns off and on Ok, my firewall isn't blocking it and to my knowledge it is configured OK. If anyone knows wtf. could be wrong can they get me on icq.

As I'm at work and don't have ICQ here, I'll do my best to answer you on the board.

Have you looked in your httpd.conf? It is most likely not set to accept incoming connections on 127.0.0.1 (which is what 'localhost' resolves to).

Hmm, I've set it to listen 80 (I apologise for the newbieness here). If that will help. It still refuses to serve though.

Check your 'ServerName' directive. An example is:

Code: [Select]

ServerName VasudansWuvFishies.com

For internal testing you can always use '127.0.0.1' for the server name.
