Apache woes

[Ben Ricker]

You need to check the errors_log in the apache home dir/logs. What does 
it say there?

One possibility: Apache must be able to resolve the IP you have in the 
ServerName. You need to have the /etc/hosts file configured correctly 
for this to happen if the IP cannot be resolved.

Check the error log and let us know what it says.
