And what happened when you changed it to 127.0.1.1?

Running `ip address show' gives output that includes lines starting with
the word `inet' followed by the IPv4 address, e.g.
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

Arguably, running PHP or any code to generate the web page is "fancy".

Have you any "firewall" type stuff installed on this machine, something
that may have been configured to allow TCP port 80 access from the LAN?

You said you'd done more: "I simply accessed then via
http://127.0.0.1/mywebpage. Yesterday I installed phpmyadmin (intending
to play with mysql) and when I tried to access it I was unable to.
Further test showed that I can't even access the Apache default index
page." Was it known to be working right before phpmyadmin was
installed?
Cheers, Ralph.
