Subject: Re: [users@httpd] localhost not working on XP

Thanks Chris,
In a console when I typed 'net stop apache2' it says

 The Apache2 service is stopping...
 The Apache2 Service was stopped successfully.

Entering   apache -k start  gave no errors

These are the only entries in the error log
[Sun Mar 21 16:35:14 2004] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3468
[Sun Mar 21 16:35:14 2004] [notice] Child 3468: Child process is running
[Sun Mar 21 16:35:14 2004] [notice] Child 3468: Acquired the start mutex.
[Sun Mar 21 16:35:14 2004] [notice] Child 3468: Starting 250 worker threads.

In the httpd.conf file are these entries
Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80

typing  'netstat -a -o'
did not show anything with PID 80

Kim
