Connection Refused with Apache 2.0

Hey all.

I'm having difficulty getting Apache up and running. I'm using
Mandrake 9.1, along with LTSP and several thin client terminals. We
are wanting to move our intranet server onto the Linux box. Here's
what I get.

Download, compile and install Apache. No errors or warnings. I edit
the httpd.conf file to set the listening port, server name, and such.
Run the apachectl start command, and again no errors.

However when I try to go to localhost or the ip address I get a
'Connection Refused' message. Here's what I've checked so far.

- netstat -an doesn't show anything on port 80
- There are no iptables rules set up that could be blocking port 80
- Most unusual, doing PS -A | grep "httpd" doesn't show anything. Is
Apache really running?

Does anyone have any idea why connections are being refused? I would
be most grateful for any advice or assistance.

I'm not familiar with Mandrake, but I would have thought that it would
have already been installed. And if not it would have been easier to
install the binaries from an rpm, rather than do the whole compile.
Installing from the rpm would have put everything in the right place
for Mandrake. I wonder if you might have some conflicts with
different installatons of the same program.

Doesn't sound like it. Try 'service apache status' and 'service
apache start'.

Doh! Yes, you're right. 'service httpd status' or 'service httpd
start'.

Sorry.
