thx for everyone trying to help. okay, this is what i tried out. Instead of working on my linux box (192.xxx.1.5), gateway is 192.xxx.1.1, I tried to host my page with the my laptop(windows xp) 192.xxx.1.10 with wampserver setup. everything worked out. (of course I had to forward port http port 80 with my router for 192.xxx.1.10)

well, if I can host with my xp box with port 80 forwarded, that i should be able to host with my linux box (192.xxx.1.5)with the same port (http)forwarded right? that means 80 is actually not blocked by my ISP right?

another concern, i have been using secure shell to login to my server to do everything i have done. it shouldn't be a problem right? I don't have to configure my httpd and things with my actualy server box right? i ask this is because when i do "lynx 127.0.0.1" it says it cannot connect to the remote host. i mean if i "lynx 127.0.0.1" ,, should it connect the local host instead???"

I am beginning to think this is less of an apache problem, but a sysadmin problem.

You still have not shown us output from your error log for apache after I told you to fix your ServerName directive, nor output from netstat showing that apache is in fact running.

You should also know, regardless of OS but from a networking standpoint, that localhost and 127.0.0.1 are 90% of the time the same thing.

okay, now i think my apache is actually running. but it come to an permission problem. when i tried to access the page on the browser, i get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Fedora) Server at xsoldier2006.dnsdojo.org Port 80

any suggestion to help me make through it? thanks

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>hi</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>this is my first page in Linux</p>
</body>
</html>

Seems to work from my end.
*Note: I intentionally included the source from the page -- I didn't screw up the formatting.

You should only `chmod' the directory Apache is using. Depending on your distribution, it could be '/var/www' or the like. (I assume you're using some Debian variant.)

You also shouldn't need to `chmod' /var/www anyway... It should 'just work' as is. I assume you changed permissions to not need to edit as root.
