Topic: Can't get off the ground

[nonobar]

After installing Apache with a "successful installation" message I tried to test it by putting the http://localhost into my browser URL. I get "can't find page" response.

My error log is filled with statements, none of which appear to be errors. Here is the last part of it:

[Sun Jun 17 05:41:37 2007] [notice] Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.
[Sun Jun 17 05:41:37 2007] [notice] Child 2380: Exit event signaled. Child process is ending.
[Sun Jun 17 05:41:38 2007] [notice] Child 2380: Released the start mutex
[Sun Jun 17 05:41:39 2007] [notice] Child 2380: Waiting for 250 worker threads to exit.
[Sun Jun 17 05:41:39 2007] [notice] Child 2380: All worker threads have exited.
[Sun Jun 17 05:41:39 2007] [notice] Child 2380: Child process is exiting
[Sun Jun 17 05:41:39 2007] [notice] Parent: Child process exited successfully.

"Start Apache In Console" gives me what looks like a DOS window which freezes and will not accept any input.

I have configured port 8080 to use by myself.

All the indications are that I've done everything right, but it won't work.

Any ideas?

If you have configured port 8080, you need to request http://localhost:8080/

Requesting just http://localhost/ will cause your browser to use the default http port, which is port 80.
