you are using netscape right. If it can't find the stylesheet he displays
the css file as the request address, and show the error.
If you like to reload you httpd config you can use the following - if RH
still has the service command:
service httpd reload
the scripts which will run at bootup are under /etc/rc.d/init.d/ or
/etc/init.d/ you can use this scripts with the start or stop or restart or
reload command. to see wich options are supported just type it's name. --
example type '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd' and it will give you all its options.
You can control most deamon this way.
But I don't think your problem is related to httpd - but let me see I don't
know a thing about CUPS.

you can see which server is running on port 631 by the following command:
netstat -plan | grep 631
the last number shown is the proccess id. and possible it's name. If it's
the cups daemon then you don't need an entry in xinetd.
I suggest you search the location of where cups puts it web related files,
so you can look if cups.css is there (it's not so add it from your
doc/cups-1.1.1 dir)
Good Luck!
