I did restart - many times now. The logs give me a permission and .htaccess error. I touched and changed permisions on the .htaccess but it is still unable to open. Apache was added after the install, by root. I changed the ownership temporarily to apache.users to see if it made a difference but still no change -- can't display a page. The port thing sound work a try -- I will try it tomorrow when I get access to the machine again. Thanks, any other ideas that I might try. The website is hosted behind an actiontec dsl "router" with port 80 as a pass thru. Note: The web page will come up if I simply put an index.html in the /var/www/html directory -- the apache default. But when I try to bring up a page from some other directory -- problems occur.
