[CLUE-Tech] Apache question

[Bill Gjestvang]

The configuration items you've listed seem fine.  Here are some
suggestions on debugging.  If any of this is too basic, I apologize:
-See if apache is actually running:
    ps auxc|grep httpd
-Start or restart apache if you haven't already.  On most distros:
    /etc/init.d/apache restart
  or
    /etc/init.d/httpd restart
-Check your logs, especially error logs.  Most distros have them in:
    /var/log/apache
 Easiest I find is to sort by time: "ls -ltr", and look at the most recent.

Hope this helps.
