I just installed Apache, which I did this about 2 weeks ago and it worked without any problems. I have had to reload due to my other hard drive crashing which had all my linux config and stuff on it. I haven't setup a firewall at all, so I'm kinda of stumped on why I would be refusing a connection... even from myself... I run /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start in order to start the server, which I have starting up on boot. Any ideas on what I could look for, what may be wrong... etc...

I think I figured out why. I was scrolling through the httpd.conf file and found port set to 8080. Now I know I have seen this before where it is set to 8080, but is there a reason? I set it to port 80, and it worked after that. Any ideas on why this would default to 8080?
Thanks,
Jason Bush
I think proxies usually use port 8080

Could have just fixed it with ipchains/tables redirecting queries on port 80 to 8080....
