That's the message one usually gets when there is no daemon listening on
port 80. There are a few things I'd check. First of all, run the following
command to see if httpd is even running:
ps auxw | grep [h]ttpd
Then, if it's not running log in as root and run the '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
start' command. Run the previous command again to see if it's running again.
If it's not, then check the error_log file which I believe it's usually
found in /var/log/httpd if you installed from the RPM.
If you're positive that Apache is running then check to make sure it's
actually listening on the correct port. Run the 'netstat -a' command and
see if there is anything listening on port 80. It should be pretty obvious.
If, by any chance, you notice that httpd is listening on a different port
then check the httpd.conf file since I believe that's where you configure
which port Apache will be listening on. Ah, and also check the messages file
in /var/log/messages for possible errors.
Let us know how it goes. Good luck.
