How exactly did you install apache? What do you get when you visit `http://localhost/`? — , Mar 02 '11 at 11:11

You can check if apache is running by writing

ps aux | grep apache

in your shell.

If apache is not running you can start it with either

apache2ctl start

or

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

did you start the server by using 'apachectl' command? assuming you did, go to the shell and type,

ps -ef | grep httpd

If you can see a process named 'httpd' running then the installation works. And there might be some error in the url you are using.

hey that one is working now....but starting the apache is giving an error

Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

i thought that i need to make change to httpd.conf file ,...but i'm not able to do so ...

can someone explain how to do that
