I am configuring OSPF for the first time. My configuration seems complete, but when I type "show ip ospf" the result is:

Routing Process "ospf 1001" with ID x.x.x.x (IP deleted by poster)

There are no neighbors shown, either.

Any suggestions as to how to make the area "active"?
 
OSPF will only form neighbor relationship when the following are the same:

neighbors are in the same subnet, same area, same stub etc.
