Looks like something is seriously askew in your hosts file. The localhost id should always be mapped to 127.0.0.1, not some external DNS name. > When I don't run the server as sudo I get things like > Safari can't open the page "http://www.localhost.com:80/" because the server > unexpectedly dropped the connection.

Might be as simple as not having a hosts file, or not having an entry for localhost. Another possibility is that you may have a webapp deployed that has hard-coded the original website address, and did a redirect with it - hard coding like that is a very, very bad practice. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
