This may or may not be an install issue. I downloaded the most recent
version of Apache 2.2.8 (Win32). I downloaded the installer, and ran
it. This was a clean install as Apache was not on the system previously,
and IIS is not on the system either. My operating system is Windows XP
Media Center.
Apache appeared to install properly, and the Monitor indicates that
Apache is running properly. There are no apparent errors in the log.

The problem is I cannot connect to the server. When I point my browser
at http://localhost/ it just sits there spinning, waiting for
something. If I stop the server I immediately get an Unable to connect
error:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again
in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy,
make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Something is happening but I just don't know what. Can anyone provide
some assistance?
BTW, the FAQ said something about making sure that there is a valid
ServerName line in the config file, so I made that "localhost". And the
Windows DNS Client service is started.
