Hello: I'm slowly configuring a new laptop, and today got around to installing some of my local websites, stuff that I serve on my local machine to a browser on the same machine (like a collection of recipes, for example). Connections to "localhost" kept timing out, but I was able to give another machine on the network the IP address and the connection worked, so I then knew it wasn't a problem with apache2. It turns out that my loopback interface, lo, was not configured for some reason. Maybe - I am on a testing system recently updated - it had something to do with ifupdown being removed yesterday. Anyway, I installed the new ifupdown, rebooted, and lo was configured, and my web server once again works locally.
I thought, if anyone else was having a similar problem, they might appreciate the solution, which is to make sure that lo is configured.
