[olug] apache not reachable

[Jake Churchill]

First, what distro are you using and what version of apache? (Apache 
1.3 has 1 config file and 2.0 has several.  Also, some distros set this 
up by default for you)
Second, do you have a router or anything else? (you may have to change 
the router's port forwarding)
Third, (and I have to ask) is the process running (ps aux | grep 
apache.  if it's not there, su to root and do ./apachectl start)?
Fourth, do you have Cox?  (they block port 80)

Try to ping your machine on port 80 from another machine.  I'm not sure 
how to do this exactly but I know it's possible.

If you re-installed your machine, you could have a different IP address 
(this has happened to me) and you might just need to re-configure your 
port forwarding in the router or the DNS server.
