Apache Problem..... I think

I hope someone knows how to solve this one, because it stumps me completely.

I installed Apache (1.3.22), PHP (4.1.2) and MySQL (3.23.49) about 2 months ago when I used to have dialup highspeed DSL service with Bell Canada (Phone Company). Everything ran fine and I was able to type in "http://localhost" and run all my PHP scripts.
Now that I have switched to cable internet connection (no dialing-up required), whenever I type in "http://localhost" , the computer gives me a "500 Server Error" page and it says "BAD URL". I tried instead of "localhost" to type in "127.0.0.1" and even my IP address, but nothing has worked.

If anyone has had a similar problem, or maybe knows why Explorer would give me a 500 Server Error when I try to activate localhost, it would be greatly appreciated :wink:

Is the webserver running? Are there any errors in the webserver logs?

Do you have to connect via a proxy server. This type of problem can occur when your browser is not set to bypass the proxy server for local addresses.

I'm not entirely sure how Apache is configured, but it is possible it has binded to your old IP address, and when you switched ISP's your IP would have changed. You may want to look into that as well.
