Looks like your webserver is down.

Check this first:

Telnet in (see Wayne's latest post for advice).

type into command line:

top

You can leave this mode by typing a sinqle 'q' (without carriage return)

If you see some entries showing 'httpd' in the right column, your apache is
still alive. Anything else might be wrong.

If not:

Change your identity:

su -

type in your admin/root-password

type the following:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Any errors in your configuration will be reported if there are some. If so
and there are errors in httpd.conf, you'll find this configuration file
here:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

1. backup this file:

cp ./httpd.conf ./httpd.conf-dist

If editing is needed:

pico ./httpd.conf

you can comment out single lines, if they cause the error, with a hash #

Restart your apache as shown above.

Give a short prayer or try again.

In case of any dispair, contact me offlist.
