Localhost problem

[andrewdps]

I've a kinda strange problem with the apache server.

I've two versions of apache server installed on the machine.

One is the installation I've downloaded and installed and the other is the one which came with a software distro.

When I start the apache that I've installed I can see a webpage with either localhost or 127.0.0.1,but not 127.0.0.1:8080 or localhost:8080

When I run the apache that came with the distro,exactly reverse happens.I can see 127.0.0.1:8080 or localhost:8080 but not 127.0.0.1

What could the problem

By default, apache listens to port 80. AFAIK, two
installations can't both listen to the same port.

What do the "Listen" and "Virtualhost" directives in the respective httpd.conf files say?

Ah. Your other post referencing "start_tomcat.sh" sheds some light on this. I take one of your Apache installs is straight Apache, which defaults to listening on TCP 80, and the other is Apache Tomcat, which defaults to 8080.
