problems starting apache2.0.50 ... need help

[Hormonx]

I belive i have got everything under control .. up until now. I have tried starting apache2 and it seems like it has started but when i want to check the status of the server this is what i get ...

Looking up localhost.
Making HTTP connection to localhost.
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status

I have also pulled this out of apache2/logs folder

Looks like its trying to switch to GID 4294967295 you need to open your httpd.conf and check what group Apache is switching to seems this group does not exist.
