Thank you Pritpal for your several tips. Bringing up a browser and going to "http://localhost:80/" yields "The page cannot be displayed". So I assume that means there's no local webserver running?
I did "netstat -an" at the DOS prompt, it lists several entries with various IP addresses: assuming the number that is appended after an IP address with a colon is a port#, it would appear nothing
is using port 80.
I then changed the Apache port to 8080 by putting "Listen 8080" into httpd.conf, and then pointed a browser window to "http://localhost:8080/" and now the browser yields: "Not Found".

Q: Why does it not work at port 80? What's interfering with that?

Q: How do I set up a test domain?  I simply arbitrarily picked "testdomain", and put an entry into httpd.conf with "ServerName www.testdomain.com:80", and the docs are in the default location
C:\Apache\htdocs. What else should one do to make "testdomain" a valid domain on the local box for Apache to use it?

Thank you so very much for your help!
