[Gllug] Can't connect to apache locally

Very unlikely. First thing to check is that the web server is actually
listening on the port to which you're trying to connect (presumably
that'd be port 80):

	netstat -ntlp | egrep :80

If it's running, and listening on that port, can you connect to it:

	nc -vvz localhost 80

But I suspect you'll find the problem is that apache is only binding
to port 80 on a specific IP address, and hence won't be accessible
via machine name. Try:

	nc -vvz $(uname -n) 80

If that worked, but the localhost one didn't, your apache config is
a good place to look. The netstat will also show you which addresses
are listening on that port, to let you double check this.
