Trying to http://localhost on YDL 3.0.

[Ben Hall]

Hmm.. Sounds to me like you've got the bundled firewall blocking port 
80, and/or you don't have the apache webserver running.

Because I can't recall how to get at it through the RH GUI, try the 
following:

1) Open up a console, as root type:
2) /etc/init.d/iptables stop

Now go to http://127.0.0.1 with your browser, if it still doesn't work, try:

3) /etc/init.d/httpd start

2) disables the firewall, 3) makes sure the web server is running.

Once you've figured out whether it was 2 or 3, you can play around in 
the GUI config tools to either open port 80 (in the network config tool, 
IIRC) or make the web server start on bootup (in the "Services" program.)

Cheers,

Ben
