I recently tried starting up my Apache server, as part of a course that I am
taking to learn web development.
The command went through as it should, after asking for my password. But when I
opened my web browser at the http://localhost <http://localhost/> webpage,
nothing happened. I was given an error page saying that the page cannot be
opened because the web browser cannot connect to the server.
I did some preliminary checking and found a command to troubleshoot Apache
files. What I got back had to do with syntax errors in multiple files. Though I
did some research, I have found nothing about this particular problem. Also I
could not find a way to reinstall Apache in such a way that the system would be
untouched, but the bad files would be replaced by uncorrupted ones.
I humbly submit this problem to anyone for their consideration. Perhaps someone
else has had a similar problem; or someone knows a way to bypass the issue.
Thank you very much,
