is there a file specifically called index.html, apache picks up files named index.html as a default in the directory....as far as the firewall, do
and look for this

80/tcp open http

There is a file called index.html in there

root@server:~# nmap localhost

Starting nmap 3.50 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-12-04 06:01 EST
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
(The 1651 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp open smtp
37/tcp open time
113/tcp open auth
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
587/tcp open submission

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.446 seconds

and see if it works, if so then you will have to open port 80 on your firewall

root@server:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall stop
-bash: /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall: No such file or directory

Heh, does it end?

post the list

root@server:~# cd /etc/rc.d
root@server:/etc/rc.d# ls
rc.0@ rc.atalk rc.inet1* rc.mysqld* rc.syslog*
rc.4* rc.bind rc.inet1.conf rc.nfsd* rc.sysvinit*
rc.6* rc.cups rc.inet2* rc.pcmcia* rc.udev*
rc.K* rc.dnsmasq rc.inetd* rc.portmap rc.wireless*
rc.M* rc.font.new* rc.ip_forward rc.samba* rc.wireless.conf
rc.S* rc.gpm* rc.local* rc.sendmail* rc.yp*
rc.acpid* rc.hotplug* rc.lprng rc.serial*
rc.alsa* rc.httpd* rc.modules* rc.sshd*

What should I do from here? Reinstall apache maybe? because it was working before.

removed

Segmentation fault? :S

well, i dunno, theres some misconfiguration with apache. I cant really do much more without physically being in your box.

chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall

this will keep that rc script from running on boot. and maybe you want to reinstall apache and start over.
The only other option would be for me to ssh into your server and have a look first hand, I can do that if you want. Just post if you want me to.

Okay i'll let you SSH in, just tell me how you wanna contact me.
I might reinstall apache, ive got nothing important in webroot.

.

Okay give it a try, how do you keep contact in the terminal?
