I compiled apache 1.3.33 and installed it in /usr/local/apache. But the website is not showing up. Firefox says the connection was refused (I am typing in 'http://localhost/'). If I try to view the status using the 'apachectl' application, here's the output I get :

[root@localhost htdocs]# ../bin/apachectl status ERROR at dump.c:188: Network is unreachable

'netstat -a' shows the following output :

Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State

tcp 0 0 *:http *:* LISTEN

I am running Fedora Core 3 with mostly the default options (firewall and everything). I haven't installed the pre-packaged httpd. Somehow, I don't feel this is an Apache problem, it seems that I am just not able to connect to it.

Thanks in advance.

There are two types of thieves. There are the thieves that want a car. And there are thieves that want one particular car. Against the first type, any security measure that makes your car harder to steal than the car next to it is good. Against the second type, even a sophisticated GPS tracking system might not be enough.
