Hi,

I am in desperate need of help. I am unable to connect to my local host
when I am using Mozilla. I try to connect to the localhost by typing
http://localhost and all I get is "Connection was refused while attempting
to contact the localhost" I have checked most of my config files and don't
know what else to do? PLEASE HELP!!

Cheers,

Rik

Does 'ps ax' show any httpd processes?
Does 'netstat -atn' show anything listening on port 80?
Does http://127.0.0.1/ work? If the above are true and this fails, check
your access_log and error_log (usually in /var/log/httpd).

Note that some browsers do a web search for a hostname that is not FQDN
(has no dot) unless you disable their auto search function. Also see
apache docs for UseCanonicalName to see what happens if a URL does not
include a trailing slash when required (especially if http://localhost
fails and http://localhost/ works).
