document contains no data (which is not true)

[gosuc]

Hi Apache-gurus,

I have installed apache V2.0.35 on my HP-UX box. To get
the server running I added a user

http://www in

nogroup.
The DocumentRoot is /opt/apache2/lib/htdocs. The ServerRoot is /opt/apache2. I hav adjusted the htdocs directory
and all files and subdirectories beneath it to owner www
and group nogroup.
When starting the server with apachectl start, there will be 4 httpd daemons in the ps -listing. In /etc/services, the port 80 is not commented out.
Inside the Directory-directive of htdocs I have Options All Indexes FollowSymlinks, Order allow, deny and Allow from all.

But when I test the server from my browser with

http://localhost,

I get the error-message "document contains no data".
But looking into the directory /opt/apache2/lib/htdocs (the DocumentRoot) there are many files, including index.html.

If I try to access the server from another box within the same network, I get the response: "Forbidden, you are not permitted to access the remote system".

What the heck have I missed to configure?

Any help is very apreciated.

regards,

fred

(P.S. excuse my bad English)

Follow up ....

by now I am a step further. I can get on the server-page when I type in my IP-Address instead of localhost. But why
does the server not accept "localhost" ? I've tried
to make some Listen -entries like "Listen localhost" resp.
"Listen localhost:80" etc, but that doesn't work.

http://localhost

still brings the message "Documents contains no data" and

http://192.168......

shows me what
I want to see, the contents of the htdocs-directory.

Perhaps someone can help ?
