hi!

i downloaded apache_2.0.46 for my win2k. just run the installer and filled up the necessary values. or so i thot?

we have a network, but ill be using apache on basically stand alone mode. what must i put in the domain field? currently i entered our domain. on the server name i entered my computer name.

after the installation. i tested my install by entering http://localhost in my browser. it's not getting me anywhere. this is my first time with apache. when i get comfortable with it. ill be trying it on linux.

any help will be appreciated.

thx a lot!!

Your Windows box probably don't know which IP address 'localhost' should resolve to.
Try http://127.0.0.1 (which is the standard(?) loopback address).

If that works, add 127.0.0.1 localhost to C:\windows\HOSTS file (or wherever the HOSTS file is located on your box).

Cheers :)

Have you verified that the service has started?
