Setting up Apache and localhost

[TripleD]

I'm trying too setup apache using the reference in the Desktop Config, but am unable to connect to localhost. I was wondering if someone could point out any problems they see, and if possible, maybe someone who has a working install of apace for localhost post there config?

I've been muking with the config files, but have put them back to how they were installed, accept for this one. Even on a fresh install i am still unable too access it via localhost.

apache.conf:

### You really shouldn't change these settings unless you're a guru
###
ServerType standalone
ServerRoot /etc/apache
ServerName localhost
#LockFile /etc/httpd/httpd.lock
PidFile /var/run/apache.pid
ScoreBoardFile /etc/apache/apache.scoreboard
ErrorLog logs/error_log
LogLevel warn
ResourceConfig /dev/null
AccessConfig /dev/null
DocumentRoot /Web/httpd/htdocs

You need something like this in your .conf file.

I am having the same problem mentioned as above, adding this in /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf, and still have the same negative result (after restart apache).

Hi,
After further investigation, in /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf: DocumentRoot should be placed after Include conf/commonapache.conf.
