When you did hte install before changing the config file, did it work?
Were you able to see the Apache "everything installed ok..." page?

HI larry
I used the default httpd.conf file that comes with the install with
the exception of 2 changes ( ie changing the document path )
Even when I changed them back to the default settings theproblem was
still occuring
Its listening on port 80 as a service and no other conflicting
services or software is present

Hi Paul,
Your log file doesn't indicate anything out of hte normal.
Have you tried just viewing the default page that comes with the
Apache
install, the one that says "If you can see this, it means that the
installation of the Apache web server
< http://www.apache.org/foundation/preFAQ.html> software on this
system
was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace
this page." Did that work? If so, then send your httpd.conf file,
because there's got to be some detail that's messed up.
One other possibility that comes to mind is whether you've configured
Apache to listen on the right address (localhost, or your local IP, or
whatever)
