A "ping localhost" as well as "ping simpaticus" must work as it will both try to resolve the name. Does Apache response to http://localhost? Better than using a browser might be to detect Apache working using telnet: telnet localhost 80 GET / HTTP/1.0 <enter 2 times> same command with: telnet simpaticus 80 And: check the relevant logfiles! Configuring Apache and not having a view to /var/log/httpd/ and /home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com/logs/ is bad. > Rodolfo J.
