Some distributions of Linux will install Apache but not enable it by 
default.  To start Apache, begin by typing "which apache" or "whereis 
apache" on the command line.  That should tell you where it is, 
probably some place such as this:
/usr/local/apache
The next step is to cd into that directory, and then "cd bin" to get 
into Apache's binary directory.  Then try issuing this command:
./apachectl graceful
It should say "httpd restarted" or "httpd started".  If it gives you an 
error, and you still can't connect to localhost, try this:
./apachectl start
Assuming one of the two commands worked, you should now be able to 
connect to localhost.
