Did you restart the server after you changed the config file?

Can you telnet to the server from a different machine?

Can you telnet to the server from the server itself?

telnet <ip address> 80

telnet localhost 80

There are several possibilities    firewall  iptables configuration apache listen address   port   More information is needed about your configuration   What distro are you using   Can you connect via 127 0 0 1   If the issue is with the firewall iptables  you can add the following lines to  etc sysconfig iptables   -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT    Second line is only needed for https   Make sure this is above any lines that would globally restrict access  like the following   -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited   Tested on CentOS 6 3  And finally   service iptables restart
