chapter 1, pg 15, prescribes this test:

http://localhost/

That URL gives me an error.

I can use my assigned IP address and a port number and it will work fine though:

http://192.168.0.175:8080

I added the IP address to the hosts file (\windows\system32\drivers\etc) to provide a name-to-address map. That didn't help.

Why does an IP address work when the alias does not?

(Note: I've installed Apache 2.0.52, but have done no configuration of the http:conf file as described on pg 15)
