Apache 2.0 running, but unable to load pages

[Ryyo]

Howdy all,

I am very much an apache newb, so any help you could provide would be much obliged.

I have a fresh install of Apache 2.0 on a freebsd box. When I try "apachectl start" I get the following message:

blahblah# bin/apachectl start
httpd (pid 806) already running

Now, "apachectl status" returns:

Looking up localhost
localhost
Making HTTP connection to localhost
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http: / / localhost/server-status

Unofortunately, I'm not really sure what this means, though it seems clear that being unable to connect to the remote host is my issue. Any help you could provide would be much obliged!

There's a lock file lying around some where. It's probably in a directory called run or lock but do a search for httpd.pid.
