The character between the "ax" and "grep" is not an "l" (lowercase el).
It's called a "pipe" and is used to strings commands together.  It's 
on the key directly above "return" on a standard Mac keyboard; shifted
of course.

I suspect that since 'apachectl restart' does nothing that Apache is not
running.  If this is the case, you need to find your error_log and see
what is being written to it.  Try looking in /var/log/httpd/
If you see it there, look at the last lines and see what's being written:

	 [root@www root]# tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

This should tell you where to start.
