After all efforts to restart Apache, for the third time, I reinstalled the server. It appears to be working. Again, I shall attempt to configure the server correctly. In the meantime, because this thread is so long and outdated, I propose to abandon it and start a new thread if needed.

Here's exactly what I have:

UserDir enabled
UserDir "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website"

<Directory "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website">

These match. Should work.

    AllowOverride None
    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

But, there is no reason to check the configuration; my Apache program
appears not to be working (error logging stopped,
http://localhost/ doesn't
locate index page).

What do you mean? Do you get an apache error (404, 500 etc.) or a
browser/system error (address not found, server not listening etc.)
Switch off friendly messaging and/or use a technically adept browser
like FireFox to see what's really happening and not what the browser
thinks you might want to hear.

Using Restart and Start commands is no
help. Assume I
need to reinstall?

Bit drastic.. since this is windows, I believe a reboot is the canonical
thing to try ;-)

Yes.. ("canonical" just means "usual" or "normal")

Oh no you don't. You have:

UserDir "C:/Users/lamartin/My Website"

which is different (to apache, anyway).
