that should probably be "/etc/rc.d/apache start".... just to be pedantic....

I'll bet it's not listening on port#80.  IIRC the default is something
stupid like 8080.

Login as root.

Find the process that's still running as root.  (ps -auxc | grep 'root.*httpd')

Run "fstat -p PID" to find out what ports it's listening on.

	# ps -auxc | grep 'root.*http'
	root       267  0.0  0.7  1000   584 ??  Ss   20Oct01   8:04.53 httpd
	# fstat -p 267

In the above FD#16 and FD#17 are the sockets connections are being
accepted on.  As you can see they're on port #'s 443 and 80.  That's
HTTPS and HTTP of course.  You'll only see "*:80" unless you're starting
an SSL enabled & configured server.

What about the httpd log(s)?  /var/log/httpd/* maybe....
