http://localhost and http://127.0.0.1 doesn't work

I installed apache 1.3.27 and it installed fine and started fine, but when I type in the above two addresses in internet explorer, I get nothing, for URL i get a blank page and for URL i get a page saying it can't be found. I don't get page the apache page saying it was installed and running successfully on your machine. Help please, thanks

i dont know that much, so im taking a guess - as silly as this may seem when i installed mine i had a similar problem, i had forgot to start the server. some times it starts on its own when you reboot and some times is dont depends on how you installed it.

I hope that works, if not one the brains that read these posts should help you next time they log on. You picked a great site to post your question all the members are really nice people and have good work to back up their knowledge.

same as above posts

There are 2 common reasons for this syndrom.
01. Apache didnt start.
So start it manually by double-clicking Apache.exe file , this file exists (if windows) in folder C:\Program files\Apache Group\Apache
or
from START->RUN type
NET START APACHE

if you are at linux box
probably you need to type

./apachectl start (find where this file is)

02.

Check the DocumentRoot configuration at httpd.conf file

C:\Program files\Apache Group\Apache\conf (Windows)

For linux find the same file and make necessary changes for
DocumentRoot

Good Luck
