so I installed APACHE on linux ..and I typed apachectl start and get httpd (pid 1766) already running but I can't see nothing on the browser .. When I type the local IP address of the machine, It's supposed to bring a screen with APACHE to show that it's running now ..but page keeps loading and loading ..

There're a problem with config.

  • First try restart (if pid already running... first stop) Another question help you
  • Open httpd.conf, looking httpd.pid (or apache.pid or chain. "Pid") for the location
  • ps aux |grep httpd # you see process of apache running. If running stop it. Check the settings
  • On system ls -lisa "location_of_pid"
  • If any result, remove file "location_of_pid"
