It sounds like a hostname error. Does Apache know it is answering as
localhost? You may want to double-check your `Listen' and `ServerName'
directives.

A quick test is to try lynx to the local ip address and see what
happens. BTW, did you run `apachectl configtest' prior to starting
Apache? That will help you with any issues, although if it is running, I
am not sure configtest would find it.
