Apache 2.0.47 on XP

I've just installed MySQL 4.0.15 and Apache 2.0.47 onto my windows XP
computer as per instructions included with the CD. It says I should
get the Apache default web page when I enter http://localhost/ in my
IE browser. Well it doesn't load anything or report an error it just
sits there trying to do something. I entered localhost and localdomain
as my server info during installation. Service Monitor appears ok,
green light by Apache 2 name. What am I doing wrong???

What does the "Listen" directive line in your httpd.conf file say?

#Listen localhost:80
Listen 80

I have macromedia FTP RDS server on my pc with localhost as the root
directory, will that have an effect on the apache installation?

Hmm. That should work on all interfaces.

It depends. I'm not familiar with that server but if it is
using port 80 then you have a problem.

Try "Listen 8080" and go to http://localhost:8080 and see
if that works.

No change....Have also removed the Macromedia FTP/ RDS server
application. I have copied an index.html file to the htdocs folder and
can open it from the folder but nothing via the address bar in IE,
page not found error. It's just not locating the files within the
htdocs folder.
Any ideas?

Not really. Is your DocumentRoot set correctly?
