apache2

Greetings

I'm working on my first linux box and I can't seem to get apache2 to function properly. It seems to start up without a hitch, with no errors in the error_log. My file permissions are like they should be too, however, when I type my ip into a browser it gives me the "cannot find server" page. I have port forwarding and a dmz set up on the router (it can be ssh'd into from both outside and inside my home network). What can i do to fix this or what should I look at?

I just installed apache2 on my linux box, and when
i type in my ip in a browser on another computer i
get the "cannot find server" error message. I
have the file permissions set correctly for
DocumentRoot and havent changed anything in
apache2.conf except for the DocumentRoot.
(i couldn't even get the default
page to work directly after i installed it).

Any help would be appreciated. thanks

p.s. this is my first linux box.

And it looks like you can't trim your own lines ad around 70 chars either.

Ja, but is it working? netstat -an | grep 80 what does said about?
ps -ef | grep httpd does show something? Do you have a firewall?

And a ping with the same IP does return?
