Well, the first thing to check would be to see if Apache is actually
running. If so, then you need to check into your Apache configuration
and/or system configuration (i.e. firewalls, network setup, etc.).
But neither is appropriate for a PHP newsgroup. Maybe one of the Ubuntu
guys can help. If you ask in an appropriate newsgroup, you'll get good
answers. If you ask in the wrong one, you'll usually be chasing your
tail due to incorrect responses.
