Configuring Apache-was working-now 127.0.0.1 will not open

I am configuring Apache and Php4 to work and edited the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf when I was doing a tuturial which I shouldn't of done. I am
on a mac os x 10.2.4. I would like a link to a tuturial for getting Apache
and Php4 to work and know that Apache is shipped with mac os x. I did
download this Entropy-PHP-4.3.4-2.dmg which says installs Apache and
Php modules. I was doing the tutorial to get apache going, edited the
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf , restarted apache, then it says.....
Can't connect to server.
Could not open the page “http://127.0.0.1/index.shtml” because Safari couldn’t connect to the server “127.0.0.1”.
What would cause that? I know I did something wrong, and somethings
are not configured. Need help. I know this may seem confusing but any
sort of guidance would be good.

Thanks, MichaelB[/mail_search]

you may have it configured for a different port than 80 (the default http port).. check httpd.conf for something similar to

Code: Select all

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
note: if you installed this new apache in a seperate location from the pre-installed one, you may need to disable the pre-installed one, or switch it's listen port before your new one can work properly.

I turned 1 port off at a time , nada , this is the error log
