I've just now been able to get back to this. netstat was listening on appropriate ports. Two things appear to be the issue here. The user for apache was the default user apache and this user does not exist on my server, I changed it to the username I made for apache to run under. Then there was a firewall issue.
error log for virtual host had this: [Wed May 09 13:23:29 2007] [error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8086 (*) failed [Wed May 09 13:25:55 2007] [error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8086 (*) failed [Wed May 09 13:26:02 2007] [error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8086 (*) failed until allowed port 8086 on firewall and then this: [Wed May 09 13:32:50 2007] [error] [client 86.120.184.161] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ [Wed May 09 13:32:50 2007] [error] [client 86.120.184.161] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ [Wed May 09 13:33:04 2007] [error] [client 152.10.156.23] File does not exist: /var/www/html/vdb, referer: http://www.library.appstate .edu/ which is Apache serving from its own document root. I commented out the DocumentRoot setting in httpd.conf and it started working. I don't remember ever having to comment that part out. As a matter of fact I have an older linux, apache, and zope with apache rewriting to zope and serving from the file system through redirects. Any thing I have obviously missed here?
