Access Apache web server

[Chris]

Why i can not access my installed Apache web server with http://localhost/? But i can access it via http://127.0.0.1

So, is there any settings i miss out in the httpd.conf?

are you running this on a linux box or a windows box?

windows box

I've checked several different places to resolve this, but haven't found any reason why this would happen. I suppose you have 3 choices.

1) check your hosts file and make sure that the domain localhost is directed to the ip address 127.0.0.1...if it isn't then add it to the file.
2) leave it as it is
3) uninstall and reinstall apache
