I have installed apache to my laptop (running XP home) but cannot seem to get apache to deliver pages using http://localhost. I have placed some HTML pages in htdocs and changed the listen port (Listen 80) to various values with no luck (though it changes the error message I get). The apache service shows to be started and I have restarted it between every config modification. I have read many of the messages on this site trying to determine what to do. Can anyone help me with this?

 

When using Listen 80 or Listen *:80

The browser eventually times out after an extemded period

 

When using Listen 8080 or Listen 3611 or Listen 127.0.0.1:80

The browser responds with "unable to connect"

Make sure your firewall is not blocking port 80. Also when you change the port Apaches listens to make sure you append the port number to end of your url, so if if Apache is listening on port 8080 you'll need to use http://localhost:8080/ If you don't append the port number in the url by default port 80 will be used.
